Hi, all
My system admin installed openldap 2.4.40 for me but the slapadd command doesn't work. It seems like the ldap package and slapd package weren't installed.
I am installing openldap 2.4.40 on redhat linux server following this direction: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/openldap.html
I can't install patch successfully. It only patch a few files then stops. But the make test goes fine. Will there be a problem if the patch doesn't goes fine?
You are welcomed for any input. I am very new to openldap.

Those instructions are invalid. They specifically recommend Berkeley DB 6.1.23 and patch the OpenLDAP configure script to defeat our BDB version check. BDB 6.x's license is incompatible with OpenLDAP and using it will make you liable to a visit from Oracle's lawyers.

Thank you for pointed this out. I have no idea about what are these packages
The slapadd and ldapadd were not working after my administrator installed openldap for me. I suspect there are something missing in the installation. I will try install openldap one more time following the INSTALL document comes with the software. Hope that will solve the problem

You could use the packages from the LTB project or Symas as alternatives to building out OpenLDAP yourself. It may also be worthwhile for CSUN to pursue a support contract with some entity, such as Symas.
