./configure on Redhat 8 -- Problems

["Neil Streeter" <nstreeter@message.nmc.edu>]

All,

I'm trying to compile openldap2.1.17 on a Redhat 8 test machine...

The first thing I ran up against was that the RPM version of BDB was 4.0
--
insuffecient for this version of openldap... I uninstalled the RPM
version of 
DB4-devel (which contained the libs and include files) -- but left the
other DB4 
packages in place because of dependencies with other RPM packages...


I then installed from tars DB4.1.25 into /usr/local/BerkeleyDB4.1/

I want to compile openldap agains that version... but no dice.. I have
tried to 
modify ld.so.conf and run ldconfig a bunch of different ways.. no
dice...

I have tried to use LD_Library_path along with env
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/mylocal/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/mylocal/lib a bunch of
ways... no 
dice...

Here is my configure command...

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/openldap \
--enable-ipv6=no \
--with-cyrus-sasl \
--enable-lmpasswd \
--enable-spasswd \
--enable-slp \
--enable-wrappers \
--enable-dnssrv \
--enable-monitor \
--enable-perl \
--enable-slurpd

and here is the relevent portion of the output...

checking for db.h... yes
checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb41)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-41)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.1)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4-1)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb4)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb3)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-3)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb2)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-2)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb1)... no
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-1)... no
configure: error: BDB: BerkeleyDB not available

What am I missing? or is what I am trying to do.. not possible?

Many thanks,
