i wish to install openldap , but after ./configure i have the following error:

configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB version incompatible

what to do now?

You need to install a version of BDB that is compatible with the version of openldap that you are trying to install.

of course, the error message tells us this much, but Iv done some serious googling and not found where to download or how to install the 'right' version..
Any tips?

Solved.
* Get the latest DB from oricle
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sof.../db/index.html

* Compile and install it
cd build_unix
../dist/configure
make
sudo make install

Now I had the DB in /usr/BerkeleyDB.4.5/
remove all /usr/lib/libdb files. (I had some libdbh that I left alone)
manually remove /usr/lib/db* - best not do it blindly. butI had references to db3 and db4

Now copy /usr/BerkeleyDB.4.5/bin lib and include to /usr/bin lib and include.

run ldconfig

openldaps configure should work now
