RE: make test hangs



Thank you very much Howard.

Per your suggestion I've tried compiling and running 'make test' using the release 2.1.22 file (v1.15.2.7) with just the line changed in revision 1.25 changed.  I also tried the v1.28 (OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_1_MP tag) version of back-bdb/dbcache.c with the same result.

Then, I noticed I had downloaded the STABLE release 2.1.22(20030709) rather than the RELEASE release 2.1.22.

Oops.  make test now runs through test008-concurrency with no problems and stops after test016-subref with the messages:

ln: `./data': cannot overwrite directory
make[1]: [test-ldbm] Error 1 (ignored)
ln: `./schema': File exists
make[1]: [test-ldbm] Error 1 (ignored)
run configure with --enable-ldbm
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/openldap/openldap-2.1.22/tests'

I assume that these are related to the ldbm backend which I'm not using so it looks like I'm set.  You just have to be smart enough to click the correct link:)

Many thanks!

Jamey

According to top my CPUs are chugging away on lt-slapd processes.  My build procedure and output from top is documented below.  Any suggestions would be great.  I'm just worried about it failing on the "concurrency" target on a dual-cpu machine:)  I noticed a post (ITS#2563) with a similar issue when I searched the OpenLDAP site:

Unfortunately the bug report you referenced above is for OpenLDAP 2.2.0alpha, and has no bearing on OpenLDAP 2.1.22.

I vaguely recall something like this coming up before; it's particular to multiprocessor systems. We fixed it in 2.2 by changing back-bdb/dbcache.c. (rev 1.25). The change was not merged into OpenLDAP 2.1 because it is an incompatible index database format change, but it sounds like you need it. Have a look at CVS for the (short, 2 line) patch.
