RE: Solaris 10 and openldap - help needed.

["Robert Bannocks" <R.Bannocks@nhm.ac.uk>]

I *am* trying to use static libraries.  Appols for the confusion over
the -L and -l.  I am now trying things more directly:

$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -I/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/include
/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib/libldap.a
/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib/liblber.a  ldaptest.c
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
ldap_dn2ad_canonical                /var/tmp//ccUaa9gP.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Doing this with 2.3.30 is no help either:

$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -I/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.30/include
/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.30/lib/libldap.a
/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.30/lib/liblber.a  ldaptest.c
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
ldap_dn2ad_canonical                /var/tmp//cc2EWpQ9.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Why is this symbol not found with the static libraries?
With the dynamic ones things go fine:

$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -I/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/include
/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib/libldap.so
/usr/local/opt/openldap/openldap-2.3.27/lib/liblber.so  ldaptest.c
$ ldd a.out
        libldap-2.3.so.0 =>      (file not found)
        liblber-2.3.so.0 =>      (file not found)
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2

I believe that this is an openldap issue not a Solaris one.

Rob
