Red Hat

I hope this is the right place to post this and that I can get some help. I pretty much suck at troubleshooting build issues.
we are running oracle red-hat linux 2.6.32-200.20.1.el5uek #1 SMP Fri Oct 7 02:29:42 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

trying to build the latest stable version of openldap ( 2.4.23 )

When running configure I keep getting a version error for berkely db.
checking for db.h... yes
checking for Berkeley DB major version in db.h... 4
checking for Berkeley DB minor version in db.h... 3
checking if Berkeley DB version supported by BDB/HDB backends... no
configure: error: BerkeleyDB version incompatible with BDB/HDB backends

I've read what I can on the forums but with my limited knowledge of how configure works I am still at a loss.

I downloaded and built the lastest version of berkley db (5.3.15). It still failed.
I exported LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the berkely db lib directory. It still failed.

Can someone help me or point me in the right direction please ?

Thanks,
floyd

Did you install the dev package or just the run time? The dev component provides the header files.

Just an FYI, if it is Oracle Linux, while it is a Red Hat clone, it is not "Oracle Red Hat."

also, do you need something specific to that version of OpenLDAP that is not available in an RPM provided by the manufacturer?

Hello,
If want to install OpenLDAP on RHEL. It is easy. I have done it on Red Hat and CentOS.
Here is a link to a YouTube video showing you how install and setup openLDAP It is in Spanish put all the commands are in English so you should not have any problems.

Here is the command you need to install OpenLDAP.

Code:

yum install -y *openldap*

You will need at least these files:
openldap, openldap-servers, openldap-clients

If you don't have yum installed, then you should be able to use RPMs. I found this page with some RPMs

I am currently working on moving our NIS network to LDAP at work. So if you have any question just ask.

I hope this helps you.
