Hello I've tried the same activity on our Centos 55 OpenLDAP server boxes. I'm not sure why and if I've done the right choice, but I've installed db-4.8.30. With this release and OpenLDAP 2.4.23 now I have a multimaster installation up and running. Sincerely, I had problems also trying to use db-5.0.something. Hope this help you.

You will have to use a version of BerkeleyDB that is not provided by those vendors. One option is of course to roll your own packages. However, many RHEL/CentOS users on the list base off of Buchan Milne's RPMs. There is some (occasionally hard-learned) institutional knowledge in his build process that you would likely benefit from. You can find references/links to these in the openldap-technical/openldap-software list archives.

I downloaded the srpm to rebuild it on my centos 5.5 system, but It fails with the same DB4 missing error. I installed the provided berkeleydb-ltb-4.6.21.NC-4.patch4.rpm to. For no I did not try to install and run the provided ldap-rpm. regards .

FWIW: I'll be moving to these packages in the bear future. I especially like the src.rpm file - after installing it, I was able to modify the configure directives to build overlays as modules vs compiled in (fixes some Solaris - as a client - difficulties) before using rpmbuild. It'll tell you what devel packages you need. Servers are currently using compiled from source - which was neither fun nor easy do to 64 bit lib difficulties when I was doing this. And when I was doing this, IIRC, there weren't any 64bit packages available from ltb. Minor caveat: It didn't like me setting sysconfdir to /etc rather than /usr/local/openldap/etc, but hey - if it bugs me /that/ much I can just as easily symlink the dir. The berkeley db package works well. Not having to recompile that makes life easier too. - chris Chris Jacobs, Systems Administrator Apollo Group | Apollo Marketing | Aptimus 2001 6th Ave Ste 3200 | Seattle, WA 98121 phone: 206.839-8245 | cell: 206.601.3256 | Fax: 208.441.9661 email: chris.jacobs(a)apollogrp.edu ----- Original Message ----- From: openldap-technical-bounces(a)OpenLDAP.org <openldap-technical-bounces(a)OpenLDAP.org&gt; To: [** ISO-8859-15 charset **] Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator <goetz.reinicke(a)filmakademie.de&gt; Cc: Robert Heller <heller(a)deepsoft.com&gt;; openldap-technical(a)openldap.org <openldap-technical(a)openldap.org&gt; Sent: Mon Nov 29 05:40:01 2010 Subject: Re: how to compile recent openldap on Centos 5.5 At Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:33:55 +0100 [** ISO-8859-15 charset **] Götz Reinicke - IT-Koordinator <goetz.reinicke(a)filmakademie.de&gt; wrote: There are 'recent' openldap and BerkeleyDB rpms for RHEL 5 on the Ldap Toolbox project web site: http://tools.ltb-project.org/projects/ltb/files?sort=created_on%3Adesc%2C... -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments This message is private and confidential.
