Hello All,

I was initially trying to build openldap 2.4.11 source on a RHEL 5.0 system, where in I ran into dependency issues with BDB 4.2, since RHEL 5.0 comes only with BDB 4.3.

While searching the openldap-software mailing lists, I came across a post from Mr.Buchan Milne saying he has openldap 2.4 binary packages on his site

http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel5/openldap/

So, I downloaded the openldap 2.4.11 packages from the site above.

First, I tried to install openldap2.4-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm, which gave me the following dependency errors :

rpm -ivh openldap2.4-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm warning: openldap2.4-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 60d204a7 error: Failed dependencies: libldap2.4_2 = 2.4.11-1.rhel5 is needed by openldap2.4-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386

So, then I downloaded libldap2.4_2-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm which gave me the following dependncy errors during installation:

rpm -ivh libldap2.4_2-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm warning: libldap2.4_2-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 60d204a7 error: Failed dependencies: openldap2.4 >= 2.1.25-4mdk is needed by libldap2.4_2-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386

I couldn't understand what this dependency error is. Any pointers would

I should probably put this somewhere else than just where it is (http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/OpenLDAP.repo), but it does contain this information:

# 1)Save as /etc/yum.repos.d/OpenLDAP.repo # wget http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/OpenLDAP.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/OpenLDAP.repo # 2) # RHEL5: # yum upgrade openldap-servers # or # yum install openldap2.4-servers # RHEL4 and older: # yum install openldap2.3-servers # or # yum install openldap2.4-servers # Install libhoard or lib64hoard for a better memory allocator

If you download the RPMS individually, you need to do something like:

rpm -Uvh libldap2.4_2-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm openldap2.4-2.4.11-1.rhel5.i386.rpm

(these two packages are inter-dependant, so they must be upgraded together).
