I had, and have now solved, a build problem that was similar
to several others posted. The configure
script "Could not locate TLS/SSL package." Typically this is just a problem with include or library
directories hiding in unexpected places.
Some people suggested creating links from the openssl
directories to the places where they're "supposed" to
be. Or, paying close attention to
CPPFLAGS, etc. One or two people
complained that the configure script was not smart enough to find it, and so
on. RedHat's openssl rpms put the libs and headers right into /lib, /usr/lib, and /usr/include/openssl,
rather than the commonplace /usr/local/ssl/... Knowing this, I wasted some time trying to convince
openldap-2.1.20 'configure' to look into those places. It turns out that the 'configure' error message about
TLS/SSL is a bit misleading. Configure does
in fact find openssl.
Reading config.out shows that configure tests ssl.h (as it does with most headers) by compiling a little conftest.c. That
compile fails because ssl.h itself includes krb5.h,
which is not in the include path. In the end, all I had to do to build successfully was: export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/Kerberos/include" ./configure
