On the assumption that maybe OpenLDAP just doesn't like bdb 4.4, I built and installed bdb 4.3 and then tried the OpenLDAP build again. This time I get a different message: checking db.h usability... yes checking db.h presence... yes checking for db.h... yes checking for Berkeley DB link (default)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb43)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-43)... no checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.3)... yes checking for Berkeley DB version match... Berkeley DB version mismatch header: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (February 22, 2005) library: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.29: (September 6, 2005) no configure: error: Berkeley DB version mismatch It seems like it is getting the header from the rpm install. I don't want to remove the rpm because of dependencies (Perl, Python, PAM, etc). Is there any way I can leave the old rpm in place and just compile OpenLDAP against the newer build? Thanks, Bowie
