OpenLDAP Install fails. BerklyDB (configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB not availabl)
Hi all,

Im new to this so sorry if its already asked.

I am facing a issue here.

Trying to install OpenLDAP on "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)".

Kernel : Linux tom.acecorp.com 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:12 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

OpenLADP version : openldap-2.4.23

BerkleyDB version : db-5.2.28


BDB was installed properly but unable to install OpenLDAP. Here is where I get an error when I run "./configure" ,

------------------

After running through a few posts on the net regarding this I tried the following,

-------

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/include/"
export CPPFLAGS

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/lib/ -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/lib/"
export LDFLAGS

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/lib/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

----------

But still no Luck.

Also tried adding "/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/lib/" to PATH. but still the error persists.

Please help me understand what I am doing wrong.

Thanks and regards,

Ankur.

You shouldn't have to compile any of that yourself. Have you contacted RedHat about this? Running a licensed RedHat server entitles you to support from them. (They should have a tool to install it for you.)

Hi

configure found your Berkeley DB, but fails to use it when checking link
The answer is in OpenLDAP FAQ-O-Matic (see last entry)
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1113.html

Hi cendryon,

Thanks for pointing that out. I followed the link and tried to understand what was given there. But i was unable to execute the "setenv LIBS -ldb" line as the setenv binary was not installed on my machine.

So instead of that I did the following

LIBS="-ldb -lgcc_s"
export LIBS

and along with this I also tried using a older BDB version that I had downloaded earlier. This time it was - db-5.1.19

and the final modifications that I had done to my variables were as follows;

--------------------------------------

PATH="$PATH:/Program-Files/db-5.1.19/lib/"
echo $PATH

CPPFLAGS="-I/Program-Files/db-5.1.19/include/"
export CPPFLAGS

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/Program-Files/db-5.1.19/lib/ -R/Program-Files/db-5.1.19/lib/"
export LDFLAGS

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Program-Files/db-5.1.19/lib/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

CFLAGS="-I/Program-Files/db-5.1.19/include/ -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include"
export CFLAGS

LIBS="-ldb -lgcc_s"
export LIBS

------------------------------------

FYI .. i have installed my BDB and OpenLDAP packages in /Program-Files/ directory.


And once this was done it got executed like a charm.

So once again, Thanks to cendryon and travisdh1 for your time.
