[David L. <dav...@cs...>]

for the list's info...

any autoconf gurus out there that could suggest how this might be avoided?

Subject: RE: LDAP Module

Hi,

It turns out that there were several other versions of libldap.so
(specifically libldap.so.3 and libldap.so.4) in the /usr/lib directory.
Unfortunately, either by what I installed or didn't install (I am not sure
whether they are even included at all with solaris 8) the header files
associated with these libs didn't exist on the system.  Essentially, I would
compile the openldap libraries, then configure the ldap module.  Since the
version info on these other libs is 3 and 4, it would use those which didn't
agree with the header info (amongst other problems like looking for another
version of liblber than existed on the system I suspect).  Essentially,
moving them out of the way for the configure and compile fixed the problem.
Definately odd though.

PS.  Thanks for your help!

from the looks of this, it seems that when Setup is generated from Setup.in
(by python's makesetup script), the -llber (and other things) are being
lost.

I have no idea why this is happening. Just copy Setup.in onto Setup,
make clean and make again.
