Hi Quanah

Thank you for taking the time to help.

I installed mysql-cluster-gpl-7.1.5 from source with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql so everything is under /usr/local/mysql. I do the make and make install and test and MySQL Cluster works fine. I then export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH so that mysql_config is in the PATH.

I then try to install openldap-2.4.23 from source with./configure --enable-ndb --disable-hdb --disable-bdb --prefix=/usr/local/openldap this ends with the following:
checking for NdbApi.hpp... configure: error: could not locate NdbApi headers

I check the output of mysql_config --include and see that its -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql

I look into configure and find:
SQL_INC=`mysql_config --include`
SLAPD_NDB_INCS="$SQL_INC $SQL_INC/storage/ndb $SQL_INC/storage/ndb/ndbapi"

The output of ls for that path shows that the files are there:

root@sms:/tmp/openldap-2.4.23# ls /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/storage/ndb/
mgmapi  ndbapi  ndb_constants.h  ndb_init.h  ndb_types.h  ndb_version.h

The config.log excerpt is as follows:

configure:29974: checking for NdbApi.hpp

configure:29995: $? = 1

Are the files in ../ndbapi not the ndbclient libraries configure is looking for?

Thanks for the input.

Where did you install mysql cluster to?  Obviously configure cannot find 
the ndbclient library.  You need to make sure configure can find it by 
setting LDFLAGS appropriately.
