Hi,

I just tried to build using 
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS/pdns-3.1-2.el6.src.rpm on 
CentOS 6.4 final (kernel: 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64), but it failed when 
looking for ldap libs:

Note: I did not change anything in the original spec file.

    ...
    + ./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
    --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu

    configure: error: ldap library (libldap) not found

However, libldap exists at the required place (/usr/lib64):

$ ls -la /usr/lib64/ | grep ldap

Here is the relevant part from config.log:

...

Am I doing something wrong? Why it can't find the ldap libraries?

Please advise.

Thanks,
Nick
