libgdbm.so error on Solaris 2.7

["Pritesh Dagli" <pdagli@radiantlogic.com>]

 

when trying to install OpenLDAP on a Solaris 7 box, slapd fails to execute due to following error:

 

ld.so.1: slapd: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory

 

I have the correct environment variables. The file "libgdbm.so" sits in my /usr/local/lib directory and I have the following variables in my environment:

 

CPPFLAGS=-I/space/openldap-2.0.10/include -I/usr/local/include

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib -L/lib -L/usr/local/include

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=-L/usr/local/lib

 

Despite this, it is unable to compile.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong ??

 

During configuration using the "./configure" command, i get the following in the config.log file

 

configure:12604: checking for GDBM library
configure:12610: checking for gdbm_open
configure:12639: gcc -o conftest -O -g -I/space/openldap-2.0.10/include -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/lib -L/usr/local/include -L/s

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 12615 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* System header to define __stub macros and hopefully few prototypes,

 

 

How come it is unable to pick up the lidgdbm.so.2 file that sits in my /usr/local/lib directory ??

This is confusing.  Have i set any environment variables wrong ??

 

I know this problem had occurred previously on the mailing lists, but going through them didn't help me solve my

problem.

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thank you
