Please check whether the configure script can find the gcc executable. Search file config.log for gcc after running configure.
Ciao, Michael.
dear michael, i did check the config.log and this is what it says.......... ## ----------- ## ## Core tests. ## ## ----------- ##

Ciao, Michael.
It looks like a gcc problem with your Debian install. I'd verify that you can compile anything on your system, and then re-install gcc using apt. I'm betting this is not OpenLDAP related.

This means that configure thinks you have a libc5 system. Something is probably seriously broken to give it that impression, since the chances of you really having a libc5 system that's still a Debian system and is using gcc 4.1.1 is fairly low.
I concur that there's something fundamentally broken with the development environment on that system.
