I followed the Install Guide where it says to do this:
cd serverroot/bin/slapd/admin/bin
perl ds_newinst.pl /full/path/to/install.inf

I haven''t fully scrutinized what the perl script does, but maybe it
doesn''t do all the things that the setup script that you''ve
referenced
does.  Perhaps I should try to start over and use that one?

Looks like the setup shell scrip overwrites the install.inf file also.  So
if both need to run it looks like order may be important.

Well, I wasn''t sure what files were setup by the rpm and what ones when
I ran the perl script.  So I did an rm -rf /opt/fedora-ds, then rpm -U
--force /path/to/fedora-ds-7.1-2.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm to force it to
reinstall all its files.

Then I ran the install script as suggested by Leif.  That worked fine
and setup the admin server also.  So it seems that this is the way to do
it.  The rpm also suggests that when finished, but I guess that I missed
that the first time around.

There are two different procedures here.  When building completely from 
scratch from source, you do not have the admin server, console, setup, 
etc.  Those components are still proprietary and have not yet been open 
sourced (we are working on it).  So if you do a "pure" open source
build
from scratch, you don''t get console, admin server, etc.

What we recommend is to first download and install the binary Fedora DS 
package.  This does contain admin server, console, etc., and will create 
those scripts like start-admin at install time.  Then, if you want to 
work on the source code, check it out and build it, then just replace 
ns-slapd, libslapd.so, and any other files you''d like to test with your
changes with the versions you build from source.
