Subject: Can't compile OpenLDAP with Berkekey DB: File format not recognized From: ben@fallinganvils.com Date: Wed, November 28, 2007 10:41 pm To: openldap-bugs@openldap.org

This is my first openldap install.

Pay attention to details.

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'

There must not be any spaces between "-L" or "-I" and the path.

Nice catch.
