Hi, gang.

Having a bit of trouble compiling OpenLDAP 2.4.16 under Fedora 10. I've built Berkeley DB 4.7 and installed it. I run configure with:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/include" ./configure --enable-modules --enable-backends --enable-overlays=mod --enable-sql=no

(all one line). Despite what "./configure --help" says, it still tries to include the MySQL NDB stuff by default (and can't find the headers even if the mysql-devel RPM is installed, the "NdbApi.hpp" file is in /usr/include/mysql/ndb/ndbapi), so I've appended "--enable-ndb=no" as well to get past that (don't need MySQL anyway).

Beyond that, compilation bombs when it hits libraries/liblutil/lutil_getpeerid.c:

getpeereid.c: In function ‘lutil_getpeereid’: getpeereid.c:65: error: storage size of ‘peercred’ isn’t known

"struct ucred" is defined in <asm/socket.h> and the compile doesn't seem to be picking that up. Never had this issue with 2.4.10 or 2.4.11.

Add -D_GNU_SOURCE to your CPPFLAGS:

It seems your libc must have changed since the last time you compiled this code. For whatever reason, you now need to define _GNU_SOURCE when compiling getpeerid.c. I've been opposed to adding this in our CVS but it looks like it's becoming a more frequent problem now.

Hints? Suggestions?
