Python-ldap and client-only OpenLDAP

[Guillaume S. <gu...@gm...>]

Hey everyone,
I want to build OpenLDAP and Python-LDAP from source.
However, I can't install Berkeley DB so I installed Open-LDAP with

./configure --disable-slapd --disable-slurpd

I then built and installed Python-LDAP.

However, when I try to import, I get

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ldap/__init__.py", line 22,
in <module>
    from _ldap import *
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_ldap.so: undefined
symbol: ber_pvt_opt_on

Does Python-LDAP have any dependencies toward the "server" part of OpenLDAP
?

Any help is most welcome, thanks.

Yes, that should be sufficient for python-ldap.

Which platform is that on? Could you please check with

ldd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_ldap.so

or a similar tool whether libldap(_r) of your OpenLDAP build is
dynamically linked?

Did you adjust the parameters 'library_dirs' and 'include_dirs' in
file setup.cfg to point to your OpenLDAP client lib installation before
running python setup.py build?

No.

Ciao, Michael.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response.
I finally fixed this issue. I thought that library_dirs and include_dirs
would search /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include without having to
specify these directories.

Have a good day !
