Version incompatible (OpenLDAP)

Hawkin · 06-09-2008, 03:54 AM

Hi @ all

I have read the „OpenLDAP Admin Guide” and the INSTALL documents.
First, I have installed the required software like OpenSSL 0.9.7+, Cyrus SASL 2.1.21 and an Berkeley DB with the Version 4.6.21.
Additional the POSIX regular expressions, but are they not a component of the base installation of Redhat Linux 9?!
I have downloaded OpenLDAP 2.4.9 from the openldap - website, which is compatible to BerkeleyDB version 4.6.21, at least according to the website http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/44.html .
But when I have installed the software and want to configure the Distribution for building OpenLDAP by starting “configure”, the following error message appears:

checking for Berkeley DB major version... 4
checking for Berkeley DB minor version... 0
checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4)...
no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb4)...
no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb)...
yes checking for Berkeley DB version match...
yes checking for Berkeley DB thread support...
yes checking Berkeley DB version for BDB/HDB backends...
no configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB version incompatible

I’ve tried to install the software according the steps in the Admin Guide, but it failed. Why does this not work? Do you have any other ideas?!

Thanks in advanced

I don't know how did you install the newer BerkeleyDB, but it seems that there is also an older version in your system (4.0.x) and the ./configure script is picking that, so it fails. YOu can either uninstall the older version and use your package manager to install the newer version or you can override the defaults in ./configure like this:

Code:

LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/BerkeleyDB.4.6/include ./configure -other-options

I've installed OpenLDAP according to the INSTALL and the README documents with the Requirements OpenSSL 0.9.7+, Cyrus SASL 2.1.21+, POSIX REGEX and the BerkeleyDB 2.4.10, the newest release.

I have unpacked the file openldap-2.4.10.tgz, read the Installs and README's and start the configure script. Afterwards i start "make depend" to create the dependencies, "make test" and concluding make install.
How can i uninstall the old version?! I have made a backup from openldap before executing the installation of openldap4.6.21...

According to the Install documents, but anyhow the installation get's failed...Höööö?!
When i have changed the configure of openldap, should i repeat the installation of openldap?!

Thanks in advanced,

Arne

Either you didn't run the plain "make" after "make depend" to actually build openldap, or you forgot to mention it.
AFAIK you cannot uninstall the older version compiled from source since Makefile does not provide a "make uninstall" option. You can delete the directories created from the previous installation. If you used ./configure --prefix=/some/dir they are located under /some/dir, else look in various places under /usr/local (/usr/local/etc/openldap, /usr/local/var and so on). I suggest you to leave the old version and install the newer in the same location, so the older files will be overwritten from the newer ones.

Sry...forget to mention it...-.-
I have uninstalled the version of BerkeleyDB and OpenLDAP deleting the directories, afterwards i start an "updatedb" to get sure per locate ..., that all files from this both applications are deleted.
The next step is to install BerkeleyDB Version 4.6.21 per following Steps:

Unpacking the File db ...
change directory to /build_unix and execute ../dist/configure
make
make install

All of these steps were executed correctly and without any mistake. BerkeleyDB is installed under /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6.21.

Then i unpacked the openldap-file with version 2.4.10, the newest release from openldap.
i start the configure with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local as you assumed me to do.
But the command ends after some minutes in a message meaning BerkeleyDB and OpenLDAP Version incompatible...
The "make depend" command affords "make: *** No rule to make target `depend'. Stop", same as the command "make" -> "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."

AAAAAH...this sucks...do you have any other idea?!

I suggest you to use your distro's package manager to install the software you want to avoid this kind of problems. Else you should use LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to add the BerkeleyDB library and include path to the defaults that ./configure is using.

Oha...the downloaded files from openldap and BerkeleyDB are *.tgz and *.tar, sadly not *.rpm. For installation in Red hat package manager i need rpm-files, isn't it?!

LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS?, are this Environment Variables or similar?! I search for this in google and found this...

Quote:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include" ./configure --enable-bdb --enable-crypt --with-tls
OR

Is that correct?!

For my configuration:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include" ./configure --enable-bdb --enable-crypt --with-tls

The Paths are correct, but is this blog also correct from the syntax?!
Is this the way you mean?!
And what means

Quote:

include path to the defaults that ./configure is using

? prefix=/...?!

Thanks a lot for your help...

Yes you need rpms for RH. You can use pbone to search for the packages you want to install and their dependencies.

Quote:

You use LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS to extend the library and include search directories used by the ./configure script, as I told you in my 2nd post.

Code:

LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/BerkeleyDB.4.6/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/BerkeleyDB.4.6/include ./configure --prefix=/some/path --other-options

prefix is the location you want to install openldap (the default is /usr/local) and other-options are various other options you want (like --enable-bdb --enable-crypt --with-tls in the example you've posted).

Hawkin · 06-12-2008, 09:39 AM

okay, i have searched rpm's for openldap and found the version 2.4.8-5.fc9.i386, but when i want to install it after chmod 744 he missed some dependencies like libc.so.6 ... and so on, 6 different files.
But this files exists, for example libc.so.6 under /lib/libc.so.6 and so on... Any idea?!

Using LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS performed no better result, the same failure i reported

Can you watch after 2 versions of BerkeleyDB and OpenLDAP with link, which are running without problems and where are no insecurities concerning the versions?!

I am so sry, but i'm the totally linux boon...

You didn't say what version of RH you have. The package you've found is compiled for Fedora 9 and it's more likely that it needs a newer libc that the one you have in your system. Since it's very risky to mess with glibc, look for older packages. May this will help you find the package that matches your RH version. Mind that you need 3 packages: openldap, openldap-servers, openldap-clients

FYI I've just installed openldap 2.410 using BerkeleyDB 4.7.25 (from source) using the trick with LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS to pick the new BerkeleyDB instead of the 4.4.20 that my Slackware comes with and it worked like a charm. So I guess you are doing something wrong. Are you sure about the path you use after -L and -I to point to the newly installed BerkeleyDB libraries and header files?

Redhat Linux 9

Okay, thank you for your hint with the risk by including the libraries!
I get some informations about the installed openldap files per command rpm -qa | grep -i openldap, and it displayed the following:

Quote:

openldap-devel-2.0.27-8
openldap-2.0.27.8

I confess that i am a little bit confused, because i uninstalled and deleted the whole openldap application and directory.
For my complete openldap installation i need, as you said, openldap, openldap-clients and openldap-server.
Under your posted link to rpmfind.net i found then rpms of openldap-clients-2.0.27-8 and openldap-servers-2.0.27-8.
The installation proceed without any problems, but i want the openldap version 2.4 or newer, because BerkeleyDB 4.6 are known to work with openldap 2.4 or newer and my instructions are to use newer software...-.-
But this version are not deposited on rpmfind, where can i find them or an update from version 2.0.27-8 to 2.4 or higher?! rpmfind has only 2.0.27 ...

Must i configure SLAPD, too?! And when, what?!

If you want to use newer sw, consider upgrading your OS to RHEL, if that's an option. You can use Fedora, or CentOS if you don't want to pay RH fees.
Else if you have to stay with RH 9, then your only chance is to install it from sources.

Hawkin · 06-16-2008, 04:48 AM

Okay, I am using allready the install-routine from source...

At the begin of this thread, i have only openldap-devel and openldap installed, but i have needed openldap-clients and servers.
I tried a long time to install it from source with the release version 2.4.0 (*.tar.gz), but without any success.
With your link to rpmfind, i have found an *.rmp package for clients and for server. The installation was easy and succeed.

How can i install newer version of openldap from source?!
I know the routine of configure, compiling and so on, but how can i install or upgrade from 2.0.27 to 2.4.0 per source?!

And do you have any idea relative for this failure while installing imake?!

If you don't want, or you can't install a newer OS, then you should go with the usual build from source routine (./configure, make, make depend, make install)

I have no idea, but if I was you, I'll follow the suggestions between the ###'s

(./configure, make, make depend, make install)

this is at the moment my default installation-routine and with this routine i tried to install openldap-clients and servers, but it failed everytime while starting ./configure from openldap with the message: version incompatible and aborted as described.

With this installation-routine, i can't install servers and clients, with *.rpms appeared no problems and the installation suceed. But only with an older version, because i can't find an newer rpm of openldap-clients and server and respectively exists no rpm for this both pieces of openldap...

The problem with imake and the posted failure is solved, so back to the roots ;-).

Edit: Ups...apparently imake isn't installed correctly...aarg!
Afterwards the installation of itools, which contains imake, i tried to install dicom3tools from david clunie according this page: README from itools

*checking the unzipped directory for other readme's and requirements
*checked, if PERLPATH is correct, point to /usr/local/bin/perl
in the directory /usr/local/bin/ exists two different perl-files: "perl" and "perl5.8.8", default is perl, correct?!
* "make World" for Building Distribution
* "make install" for Installing Distribution

But when i used imake to install dicom3tools per command imake -I./config -DInst ...., he cannot found imake...
Why does this failed?!

Best regards and thanks for your endurance
