OpenLDAP on AIX woes

[Jackie Hunt <jackie@yuma.ACNS.ColoState.EDU>]

Has anyone had any luck getting OpenLDAP to run on an AIX system?
I'm really struggling with it, and was wondering if anyone can offer
any help!

My environment is:

	AIX 4.3.1
	gcc 2.8.1
        sleepycat berkeley db 2.3.16
        Openldap 1.1.4

I saw this message posted by another AIX user to -bugs on 1/5/99:

> Now the positive message: using gcc for mkdep and cc_r for building
> I was able to produce a slapd executable which at least doesn't dump
> core immediately after startup. More extensive testing is under way :).
> Congratulations!

and sure enough, I found I had to change mkdep to use gcc and I used
cc_r for make.  

I do see a couple of warning in make:

  mkdir .libs
  libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.1.0 shared libraries
  ar cru .libs/liblber.a decode.o encode.o io.o bprint.o version.o
  ranlib .libs/liblber.a

and 

  mkdir .libs
  libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.1.0 shared libraries
  ar cru .libs/libldap.a bind.o open.o result.o error.o compare.o search.o modify.o add.o modrdn.o delete.o abandon.o ufn.o cache.o getfilter.o sbind.o kbind.o unbind.o friendly.o cldap.o free.o disptmpl.o srchpref.o dsparse.o tmplout.o sort.o getdn.o getentry.o getattr.o getvalues.o addentry.o request.o getdxbyname.o os -ip.o url.o charset.o init.o strdup.o version.o


But the make does complete.  I consistently fail test004 with the following:

>>>>> Starting test004-modify ...
Cleaning up in ./test-db...
Running ldif2ldbm to build slapd database...
Starting slapd on TCP/IP port 9009...

Waiting 5 seconds for slapd to start...
Testing modify, add, and delete...
ldapmodify failed!
>>>>> ./scripts/test004-modify failed (exit 1)
make: The error code from the last command is 1.


I turned on logging for slapd and this is what I see when running test004:

listening for connections on 6, activity on: 8r=> ldbm_cache_open( "./test-db/id
2entry.dbb", 7, 600 )
<= ldbm_cache_open (cache 1)

<= str2entry 0x20ed30e8
entry_rdwr_wlock: ID: 8
<= id2entry_w( 8 ) (disk)

rsity of Michigan, c=US) attr (children)

<= acl_get: no acl applicable to database root

=> acl_access_allowed: write access to entry "ou=Information Technology Division

=> acl_access_allowed: write access to value "any" by "cn=Manager,o=University o

<= acl_access_allowed: granted to database root

=> access_allowed: exit (ou=Information Technology Division, ou=People, o=Univer
sity of Michigan, c=US) attr (children)
entry_rdwr_wlock: ID: 0
=> id2children_add( 8, 20 )
=> ldbm_cache_open( "./test-db/id2children.dbb", 7, 600 )
<= ldbm_cache_open NULL "./test-db/id2children.dbb" errno 9 reason "Bad file num
ber")
<= id2children_add -1 could not open "id2children.dbb"
id2children_add failed



I think that errno 9 is where it is failing anyway.

Can anyone give me any guidance/direction on this one?  I'm about ready
to surrender, white flag and all!

Thanks much!
