Re: DB_PRIVATE Error OpenLDAP 2.3.13 (source) and DB4 4.2.52 (rpm)

Howard,

I think the likely reason is the one you pointed me to on IRC a couple 
weeks back, need to apply a patch to libtool; unless 2.3.13 has 
addressed this issue?

http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Build?id=3977

The quick test is to do ldd slapd to determine if libdb4 was linked 
static or dynamic.
