Why would you want to recommend installing these standard packages from source? Are you asking for help? This really isn't a good place to post advice and tutorials either way, we have a dedicated tutorial subsite for that sort of thing, or a blog of your own would be a suitable location.

Definitely not in the way shown in post # 1.
Replacing system packages with alien versions is not recommended,
particularly not when it's an "Enterprise OS".

The right way is : # yum install db4-devel openldap-devel

The OP has re-opened several old threads, with similarly misleading/incorrect 'tutorials'. At least this thread wasn't necroposted/hijacked like the others.
