FWIW: I'll be moving to these packages in the bear future. I especially like the src.rpm file - after installing it, I was able to modify the configure directives to build overlays as modules vs compiled in (fixes some Solaris - as a client - difficulties) before using rpmbuild. It'll tell you what devel packages you need.
Servers are currently using compiled from source - which was neither fun nor easy do to 64 bit lib difficulties when I was doing this. And when I was doing this, IIRC, there weren't any 64bit packages available from ltb.
Minor caveat: It didn't like me setting sysconfdir to /etc rather than /usr/local/openldap/etc, but hey - if it bugs me /that/ much I can just as easily symlink the dir.
The berkeley db package works well. Not having to recompile that makes life easier too.

What may I do wrong? Any sugesstions?
RHEL/CentOS db4-4.3 has proven unreliable for use with OpenLDAP Software. You will have to use a version of BerkeleyDB that is not provided by those vendors. One option is of course to roll your own packages. However, many RHEL/CentOS users on the list base off of Buchan Milne's RPMs. There is some (occasionally hard-learned) institutional knowledge in his build process that you would likely benefit from. You can find references/links to these in the openldap-technical/openldap-software list archives.
Thanks for your comment. It looks indeed somehow difficult to get an current version installed. I'll continue trying to find a solution.
Thanks and regards . Götz
There are 'recent' openldap and BerkeleyDB rpms for RHEL 5 on the Ldap Toolbox project web site:
