This is my first openldap install.
I am installing by compiling from source on a debian box logged in as myself in my home directory. Berkeley DB is not installed systemwide. LDAP libraries are installed systemwide, but I want to install the whole openldap tarball in my home directory and use that/run an ldap server etc. Only libraries are installed systemwide. No ldap server software is installed systemwide.
I do have root access, but I don't think I should need it.
If I can get it installed under /home/ben, after some experimentation, I'll install it in /home/openldap after creating an openldap user.
I don't know what the debian system uses the ldap libraries it came with for, but I should be able to use my own local version without dealing with that I would think.
This is what I do :
1) Install Berkeley DB 4.6.21 in /home/ben/opt/bdb
$ cd db-4.6.21/build_unix $ ../dist/configure --prefix=/home/ben/opt/bdb $ make && make install $ export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/ben/opt/bdb/lib $ export CPPFLAGS='-I /home/ben/opt/bdb/include' $ export LDFLAGS='-L /home/ben/opt/bdb/lib' $ cd
2) Install OpenLDAP $ cd openldap-2.4.6 $ ./configure --prefix=/home/ben/opt/openldap $ make depend $ make

3) Let's investigate: $ ls /home/ben/opt/bdb bin docs include lib $ ls -l /home/ben/opt/bdb/lib -rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 1571838 Nov 28 21:44 libdb-4.6.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 813 Nov 28 21:44 libdb-4.6.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 ben ben 1248813 Nov 28 21:44 libdb-4.6.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 ben ben 12 Nov 28 21:44 libdb-4.so -> libdb-4.6.so -rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 1571838 Nov 28 21:44 libdb.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 ben ben 12 Nov 28 21:44 libdb.so -> libdb-4.6.so
$ vi libdb-4.6.a
The first bit looks like:
!<arch> / 1196286289 0 0 0 27970 ` ^@^@^E0^@^@m\xea^@^@m\xea^@^@m\xea^@^@m\xea^@^@u"^@^@
Not sure what that means, but someone might...
$ vi libdb-4.so
The first bit looks like:
^?ELF^A^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^C^@^C^@^A^@^@^@\xf0i^A^@4^@^@^@x\xde^Q^@^@^@^@^@4^ @ ^@^D^@(^@^_^@^^@^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@\xe8\x85^Q^@\xe8
Hey! more nonsense, but ELF is familiar and seems like a plausable for a linux library...
I also get this error with openldap-2.3.39 and db-4.5.20
I could not use openldap-2.3.39 with db-4.6.21 because I get incompatible version. The configure scripts looks for db versions 4.2 though 4.5 and spits out that error otherwise.
Anyway, thanks for any help.
