Re: LDAP Polling

[Yeargan Y. <ya...@un...>]

That did the trick. It must be a bug in the older python-ldap code =20
that Novell distributes with SLES 10. OpenLDAP 2.3.32 is already =20
there, as well as SASL 2.1.21, so building python-ldap was easy. =20
Since my organization has a support contract with Novell, I will open =20=

a support request and let them know of this issue.

In case anyone else runs into this, RPM complained about a missing =20
dependency of "libldap.so.2". I'm not sure why, since I can see it =20
in /usr/lib, but I just used the --nodeps parameter to force the =20
install. I also relocated the files listed in the RPM from /usr/local/=20=

lib to /usr/lib to replace the files supplied with SLES 10.

rpm -Uvh --nodeps --relocate /usr/local/lib/python2.4/=3D/usr/lib/=20
python2.4/ python-ldap-2.3.1-0.i586.rpm

Thanks Michael! Sorry to waste your time.
