Hello<br><br>I&#39;m having an issue when using the IBM xL Compiler (not GNU GCC or any other part of the GNU stack) and the configure script fails to detect that ld can link shared libaries.<br><br>The configure I am using is:<br>
<br>./configure --prefix=/opt/openldap --disable-slapd --disable-man --disable-client --enable-shared --with-tls  --with-cyrus-sasl<br><br>A snipit from the below configure show&#39;s that the configure script fails to detect that ld can compile shared libraries.<br>

<br><br>Any idea why this is happening???<br><br>checking whether the cc_r -qlanglvl=extc89 linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... no<br>
<br>Or assistance on how I could modify the configure script to work.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Peter<br>
