I have now run into the following error. Looks like the installation of cyrus_sasl2.1.23 has caused me a problem during the make test portion of the openldap config.

I have research online and created a soft link from usr/local/lib/sasl2 to usr/lib/sasl2 and rerun the ./configure and make depend commands for openldap but it still fails when running make test.

Any suggestions?

if you execute command "yum search cyrus-sasl", you'll find that you have,

cyrus-sasl.i386 2.1.22-4 installed

and the lib and devel package. next is to find where is the location for version 2.1.23 which in my case is at /usr/local/lib and the file is "libsasl2.so.2.0.23". once you have it, you need to remove the old version (2.1.22) lib from usr/lib. the file is "libsasl2.so.2.0.22". remove the file and the symlink as well.

copy libsasl2.so.2.0.23 or create a symlink to /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2.

voila...run "make test" again and it should work now.

hope it's not too late..
