Hello --

I found
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200203/msg00061.html in the
archives describing the exact difficulties I'm having in compiling
backend-perl under OpenLDAP 2.1.29 on Fedora Core 2. The poster suggests
that rebuilding Perl is necessary. What options must one compile perl
with to have a reasonably good chance of success compiling backend-perl?
I'm using an RPM-based distro, so if I can hack perl.spec to compile it,
that's be awesome. Thanks!

It's been quite a while since I've had to think about that. For sure, building with EMBED should work. Building with thread support may or may not work. It may be convenient to build a dynamic/shared libperl, instead of the default static but that's up to you. I'm a fan of dynamic linking, but it really only pays off when you know you'll have more than one instance of a piece of code in use at the same time. Otherwise it's a waste. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. Director, Highland Sun http://www.symas.com http://highlandsun.com/hyc Symas: Premier OpenSource Development and Support
