Re: error installing ldapmodule1.8

[Joe L. <jl...@op...>]

Ok.. though I think having the c headers/docs around is a good thing 
for python-ldap developers, I have relaxed the dependencies and made a 
better distinction between dependencies and prereqs (the latter 
provides ordering, required for python site-packages)

You'll find new python-ldap RPM/SRPMS for RedHat 7.3 and 8.0 on 
ftp.open-it.org

Enjoy.
