Hi, OpenLDAP is officially supported only with BerkeleyDB versions at maximum equal to 5.0.x, and this particular version only since 2.4.24.

See http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-announce/201102/msg00000.html

You should try with the latest one available: 2.4.25

Hope this helps Marco

Hello,

I am a new user to Openldap and I´ve been struggling to install on my RedHat box for quite some time.

I´ve googled and read past messages from this forum but i´m still unable to solve my problem which.

I have installed Berkeley Db db-5.1.25 with success but when I try to install openldap, I get the following error:

[root@redqas01 openldap-2.4.23]# ./configure

…

checking db.h usability... yes

checking db.h presence... yes

checking for db.h... yes

checking for Berkeley DB major version in db.h... 5

checking for Berkeley DB minor version in db.h... 1

checking if Berkeley DB version supported by BDB/HDB backends... yes

checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no

configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB not available

Searching this mailing list, I found some information regarding setting the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS for the  BDB installation.

So I did the following commands: (considering that the installation for the BDB was in the /usr/local directory)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib:/usr/local/berkeley/lib"

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib -L/usr/local/berkeley/lib"

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/include -I/usr/local/berkeley/include"

I checked the /usr/local/lib/ directory and the libdb-5* files are there.

I also checked the /usr/local/include/ and the db.h file is also there.

But I still get the same error message.

Any tips?

These problems seems to be recurring on RHEL and related to version mismatches. Did you install BDB from source as well? Did you run ldconfig, try rebooting (a la Windoze)? Changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH and making sure /usr/local is first might help but usually not necessary. might be missing a stupid symlink (like a top-level .so). If you're running RHEL are there no officially supported rpm binary packages for OpenLDAP?

Best,
