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.

./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.

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 !

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.
