Mac OS X 10.4 Server dynamic link error

[Matthew S. <mp...@ut...>]

Hello!

I am trying to get python-ldap 2.0.10 to work with Mac OS X 10.4 (tiger) 
Server. I am getting the error posted below, and after poking about on the 
list archives for a time, I saw a post with a similar problem 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12199305). The 
solution suggested was to recompile openldap, as the Apple supplied one is 
limited.

This worked for me, and now python ldap is working fine (after a few quick 
changes to the setup.cfg), though I'd prefer to use Apple's ldap 
implementation if I could. Has anyone got python-ldap to work with 10.4 
server using only Apple's openldap and python?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

Matthew Smith
