Re: how to compile recent openldap on Centos 5.5
FWIW: I'll be moving to these packages in the bear future. I especially like the src.rpm file - after installing it, I was able to modify the configure directives to build overlays as modules vs compiled in (fixes some Solaris - as a client - difficulties) before using rpmbuild. It'll tell you what devel packages you need.
Servers are currently using compiled from source - which was neither fun nor easy do to 64 bit lib difficulties when I was doing this. And when I was doing this, IIRC, there weren't any 64bit packages available from ltb.
Minor caveat:
It didn't like me setting sysconfdir to /etc rather than /usr/local/openldap/etc, but hey - if it bugs me /that/ much I can just as easily symlink the dir.
The berkeley db package works well. Not having to recompile that makes life easier too.

There are 'recent' openldap and BerkeleyDB rpms for RHEL 5 on the Ldap
