Re: ldap.ENCODING_ERROR when trying to use SimplePageResultsControl

[Zhang H. <zhb...@gm...>]

I had the same error here while run Demo/page_control.py:

----

ldap.ENCODING_ERROR

My env:
OS: RHEL 5.3, x86_64
Python: 2.4.3-24.el5 (shipped within RHEL 5.3)
python-ldap: 2.3.6 (installed from source tarball)
OpenLDAP: 2.3.43-3.el5 (shipped within RHEL 5.3)

How can i solve it?
