[CentOS] Linking against a specific Berkeley DB install

I sent this question to the OpenLDAP list yesterday, but I still haven't
seen the message come across the list.  I am asking here in the hopes of
getting a faster response.


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?

I have put the library locataion everywhere I can think of:

    LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib
    LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib

Still, the configure seems to link with the 4.2 rpm build:

    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)... no
    checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4-3)... no
    checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb42)... no
    checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-42)... no
    checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb-4.2)... yes
    checking for Berkeley DB version match... yes
    checking for Berkeley DB thread support... yes
    checking Berkeley DB version for BDB/HDB backends... yes

Any suggestions?

Update...

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

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

./configure --help

for OpenLDAP 2.3.11 for more information.

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.

it's not linking against db4.4 only 4.2 and 4.3 as you can see above.
4.4 was just released and clearly not tested and definitely not
recommended. You should note that even the latest 4.3 version isn't
recommended for use with openldap but rather 4.2.52+patches.

Hmmm...  4.4.16 is the default download link on the website.  I
assumed that was the latest stable version.

I was able to get OpenLDAP to compile against db4.3.  Any particular
reason it isn't recommended?

It is an interesting choice.  It supports multi-master replication
which I will need and has some GUI management utilities.

Anyone know of any problems with it?
