I am trying to compile OpenLDAP 2.3.11 from source on CentOS4. I have the rpm for db4-4.2.52-7.1 installed and also a source build of BerkeleyDB in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4.

How do I get OpenLDAP to link with the bdb 4.4?

Typically this would be done at the configure stage. Check...

./configure --help

for OpenLDAP 2.3.11 for more information.

Actually, ignore that. OpenLDAP doesn't appears to have any Berkley DB specific options in its configure. I just downloaded it to have a look.

I'll try installing it here and see how far I get...

I got a bit farther. As far as I can tell, OpenLDAP 2.3.11 doesn't like BerkleyDB 4.4. I was able to get it to configure against 4.3 using the following:

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include"

Apparently, either the CPPFLAGS variable, or the '-R' entry in LDFLAGS made the difference. Hopefully, I won't run into any compilation issues now.

If you find a way to compile it against BDB 4.4, let me know.
