Installation Problem

[Ben O. <zo...@th...>]

Hi;
Got this on make:

make[1]: *** [constants.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/python-ldap-1.10alpha3/Modules'
make: *** [_ldapmodule-build] Error 2

I've used every available flag in my config to try to eliminate any problems:

#sh configure --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap 
--with-ldap-lib=/usr/local/openldap/libraries 
--with-ldap-inc=/usr/local/openldap/include 
--with-python=/usr/local/bin/python --with-kerberos 
--with-kerberos-lib=/usr/krb5-1.2.2/src/lib

What am I missing?
TIA,
BenO

Installation Problem

[Peeyush G. <pee...@ka...>]

Hi,

I get the following error message while doing a 'make'.

In file included from =
/home/zope/zope250b2/include/python2.1/Python.h:54,
                 from Modules/common.h:27,
                 from Modules/LDAPObject.c:10:
/home/zope/zope250b2/include/python2.1/pyport.h:4:46: config.h: No such =
file or directory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

As I understand the problem is with the file config.h. It simply doesn't =
exist in th Python2.1 include directory. But it is referenced in =
Python.h. Am I having some files missing in my python installation??
Any thoughts...

Thanks,
Peeyush.

Re: Installation Problem

it looks like your python came as part of a zope binary. those may not=20=

include all necessary header files.

i suggest you get a separate "real" python install and use the zope =
source=20
distribution instead.

Re: Installation Problem

[Peeyush G. <pee...@ka...>]

That's correct. I installed it from a binary. Thanks a lot. But meanwhile, I
created an empty config.h and it seems to work. Any problems expected in
future because of this??

Please follow Jens' advice!

Get a full install of the Python interpreter with all header files
necessary to build Python C extensions! Otherwise we python-ldap
people have no chance to help you. (I'm glad that Jens mentioned the
stripped binary Python interpreter of Zope since I have no idea
about Zope-specific things).

Ciao, Michael.

Re: Installation Problem

[Peeyush G. <pee...@ka...>]

Thanks for the inputs. But, now I get another error...

warning: build_py: file Lib/ldap.py (for module ldap) not found

can this warning be ignored?? i could not find ldap.py even in current CVS.
Even though it is compiled and Zope doesn't complain (it shows installed
product), I cannot get to connect to LDAP server. Is this problem because of
the above file??

You can ignore that.

It has been substituted by Lib/ldap/*.py.

No. Any traceback you can send us? Note that _ldap.open() does not
work anymore. Use ldap.open() instead. I've updated the README.

Ciao, Michael.

Re: Installation Problem

[Peeyush G. <pee...@ka...>]

Hi,

Let me explain the problem in more detail because I do not have a 'direct'
traceback. I have Zope(2.5.0b2) and LDAP(2.0.18) server installed on the
same Linux machine. If I try to access LDAP server from Zope it says
'connection settings not ok....'. The interesting part is that when I
install LDAPUserFolder on another installation of Zope(2.4.3) on a WinNT(4.1
workstation) machine, it connects beautifully with the same settings.

Following is a traceback that I get when I try to search for users(without
even being connected, just for the purpose of getting some traceback):

Traceback (innermost last):

Installing on WinNT did take me some half a day to make it working (that was
my first experience with LDAP) but getting to connect from the same Linux
machine has taken me 2 days without much luck. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Peeyush.

Re: Installation Problem

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

This definitely looks like something specific to Zope and this beta release
of said product. You likely want to ask lists specific to Zope. There are n=
o
traces or exceptions coming from access to the python-ldap modules, and so =
I
would suggest using a released Zope product (2.4.x) instead of the 2.5 beta
series.

I'd suggest that you write a small test script to figure out if it's
a python-ldap issue. You could open connection to your LDAP server
and simply read root DSE entry (if LDAPv3 server).

Something like

---------------------- snip ---------------------
import ldap

# Open LDAP connection
l=ldap.open('myldaphost:port')

# Read the root DSE
l.search_s('',ldap.SCOPE_BASE,'(objectClass=*)')

# Unbind and disconnect
l.unbind_s()
---------------------- snip ---------------------

Ciao, Michael.

Re: Installation Problem

[Peeyush G. <pee...@ka...>]

Michael,

Ur script works perfectly and i can see the debugging messages in my LDAP
server that it has been connected. But, as Jens pointed out in Zope mailing
list that he's able to run it successfully on Zope 2.5.0b3, I too installed
the same but it gives me the same error. I seem to be getting nearer to my
problem but still far. I still have no clue.

Thanks,
Peeysuh.

I conclude that this has nothing to do with python-ldap and should
therefore be discussed on a Zope-related mailing list.

"Rachel Florentine"? How odd, you just communicated with me under the

Just install from the FreeBSD ports tree.

cd /usr/ports/net/py-ldap2 && make install clean

Well, you snipped the compiler's error message.

Which version of the OpenLDAP libs are you using?
python-ldap-1.10alpha3 can't be compiled against OpenLDAP 2.x.

Ciao, Michael.

Darn. I was afraid of that. Is there no bridge for python2x and openldap2x?
TIA,

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

take the latest CVS snapshot or grab my RPMs.. they are designed for
OpenLDAP 2.x and do work with python 2.x (2.1 for the RPM)

There is. Check out recent version from CVS.

But beware it *solely* works with OpenLDAP 2 libs which up to now
are not available on e.g. Win32. Win32 C compiler hackers jump on
in!

Ciao, Michael.

I don't know about the precise status of Win32, but it works very nicely
under Cygwin.

Can you please be more verbose?
Did you compile DLLs of OpenLDAP 2 libs?
Do you have python-ldap working?
Any tweaking necessary during build process?
Willing to share Win32 binaries?

Ciao, Michael.

Cygwin python-ldap (was Re: Installation Problem)

Yes, sorry for my terseness.  I didn't think people would be interested,
so I opted for the short version.

> Did you compile DLLs of OpenLDAP 2 libs?

No, just static ones.  When the Cygwin-ized libtool work is completed,
then they should come for free...

> Do you have python-ldap working?

Yes, I have been using python-ldap under Cygwin since August 2000.
The minor Cygwin specific changes were committed to python-ldap CVS in
March 2001:

    http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/1568/2001/3/0/5307464/

> Any tweaking necessary during build process?

Not much.  See attached setup.cfg and the following for a small OpenLDAP
2.x patch:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg01248.html

Note that the setup.cfg libs line is only necessary on a temporary
basis.  It can go back to its default value once a DLL rebase solution
to Cygwin's fork() problem is implemented.  If interested, see the
following:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00894.html

> Willing to share Win32 binaries?

Of course!  A pre-built version for Cygwin Python 2.2, installable by
Cygwin's setup.exe is available at:

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/python-ldap/python-ldap-20020101-1.tar.bz2

If people are interested, then I will formally contribute a pre-built
python-ldap to the standard Cygwin distribution.

Okay, I d'l'd, edited setup.cfg,v and ran make but it complained that it 
couldn't find setup.py so I moved setup.py,v to setup.py but that caused an 
error. This is my first time working with CVS: what am I doing wrong?
TIA,

P.S.
Thanks to Joe Little for similar comments.
Thanks to Jens Vagelpohl for recommending the FAQ.
