RE: Running configure?
Thanks for the help, but apparently whatever I downloaded from Apple (called
OpenLDAP-37) wasn't setup right or something. I just downloaded the 2.1.25
stuff directly from OpenLDAP.org and it's working just like the Admin Guide
said it would. :) So, I guess whatever Apple has is junk.
Thanks,

You shouldn't give any path unless your configure and Makefile are not
within the same directory, so just change to your untared openldap
directory and run ./configure.
If you don't know why you have to set a full stop and a slash, read
some basic docs about your shell.
The GCC-HOWTO is linux based but is aplicable to almost any Unix
