samba - Nov 2004 - libldap is needed for LDAP support

I am having a problem running configure, under Solaris 9.  I get the above
error message.  I get this problem, with both 3.0.7 and 3.0.8.  The command
I am running is :

./configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --sysconfdir=/etc/sfw --with-smbwrapper
--with-acl-support --w
ith-ldap --with-ldapsam --with-ads --with-krb5=/usr/lib/krb5

I get this with the Sun ldap libraries (which I asummme are OpenLDAP by
anonther name) in /usr/lib, and also with the OpenLDAP libraries in
/usr/local/lib.  In both cases libldap is there.

I noticed a similar query in early October, but could not find a response.
Any help gratefully received.

I'd suggest against putting it in /usr/sfw, as that's where sun puts a 
group of software that looks suspiciously like sunfreeware.com but 
obviously isn't installed where they put it.  But it's your system, hack
it as you please.

Incorrect.  Sun's ldap is from the Sun ONE suite which is a branch of 
Netscape's DS from way back, which I've heard shares heritage with 
OpenLDAP, but that's not close enough.

Have you done anything to set your environment to look for libldap?  
Check the output of crle to see if /usr/local/lib is in there, which it 
isn't by default.  Also make sure your shell environment is set for the 
directories.  I usually do all of the following, which is quite possibly 
overkill, but I think I've needed them all on different varieties of 
Slowarse.

export FLAGS=-I/opt/openldap/include
export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openldap/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openldap/lib
export CFLAGS="-I/opt/openldap/include"

You should be able to note that I put my openldap in /opt/openldap instead.
