Hello,
I am new on this list. I am currently configuring a server (virtual machine) to use OpenLDAP 2.2.13 (must use this version) with Berkeley DB 4.2 (must use this version too).
BDB 4.2 is the problem. My server use BDB 4.3 and I don't now how to tell OpenLDAP to use BDB 4.2 instead of 4.3.
Any idea ?
Thanks, Benjamin.

./configure CPPFLAGS='-I<whatever/include>' \ LDFLAGS='-L<whatever/lib> -Wl,-rpath,<whatever/lib>'
where whatever/ has the bdb 4.2 installation, so that version's db.h comes before version 4.3's db.h in the include path. Might need something else than "-Wl,-rpath," - that depends on your OS/compiler. The -L says where to find libraries at compile time and -Wl,-rpath, tells the executable where to find the same libraries at runtime.

By the way, BDB 4.3 is a lousy version to use with OpenLDAP anyway, bad enough that OpenLDAP configure rejects it.
BDB 4.2.52 is likely your best choice if you have a choice - provided you get the patches for that version on Oracle's website. With OpenLDAP 2.2, also apply openldap-2.2.30/build/BerkeleyDB42.patch to bdb. If you can't do that, read the notes for these patches about what they fix.
Yes, it's why I want to use BDB 4.2 and not 4.3. I have also patched OpenLDAP 2.2.52 with some patchs, but I didn't see anything about Berkeley DB whithin this patchs.
Before I read your first answer, I tried to compile OpenLDAP with *configure --libdir=<where is BDB 4.2 libs>* but there no results. But after, I compile BDB 4.2 with *configure --prefix=/usr/local* and then, OpenLDAP *configure*found the good libs \o/
So now it's seems to works.
Thansk for your support !

You really do not want to use that particular version unless you like dealing with lots of bugs.
