I had absolutely no trouble with this. BUT. Make sure that all *library*
source (Cyrus SASL, BDB 4.5.2, Openssl 0.9.7d) is configured to install
to /usr/local; that way all the source I use (Openldap 2.2.8/2.1.29,
Postfix 2.0.18, Courier IMAP 3.0 etc) only uses the /usr/local libs when
CCARGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, AUXLIBS etc in the configure or whatever
directly point to these locations. The one exception is Cyrus SASL (I
use 2.1.18) where the libs have to get mixed up with RedHat's 2.1.15 in
/usr/lib/sasl2, but that doesn't seem to matter.

Obviously ld.so.conf/ldconfig/ld.so.cache play their part. On RHEL3 the
self-compiled libs never conflict with RH's own installed libraries,
which have to stay because of multitudes of dependencies. I don't know
why this happens on RHEL3, on 7.2 it was a PITA trying to isolate things
- maybe it's the later GNU tools on RHEL3.

Definitely.

Definitely. Don't forget the extra patches. My "configure" is:
../dist/configure \
        --disable-largefile - for ext3 FS. I get no barfs about TCL.

Keep to RedHat's 4.1.25. The fewest stock source works with BDB 4.2.52 -
f.ex. it breaks Postfix completely.
