OpenLDAP 2.1.12 problems with back-bdb ; slapd does not start

[Markus Benning <benning@erlm.siemens.de>]

Hi,

i'm currently planing to update my LDAP Server from
version 2.0 to 2.1.
I build rpms for db-4.1.25 and openldap-2.1.12.
Distribution is Redhat 7.2.

The RPMs are compiled with the following options
on a Redhat 7.2 build system with installed development
tools.

Options:
../dist/configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-rpc \
        --enable-tcl --with-tcl=%{_libdir} \
        --enable-cxx --enable-test \
        --disable-largefile

and OpenLDAP with following options:
./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --libexecdir=/usr/sbin \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var/opt \
        --enable-syslog \
        --enable-proctitle \
        --enable-local \
        --with-cyrus-sasl \
        --with-threads \
        --with-tls \
        --enable-slapd \
        --enable-aci \
        --enable-cleartext \
        --enable-crypt \
        --enable-dynamic \
        --enable-lmpasswd \
        --enable-spasswd \
        --enable-modules \
        --enable-bdb \
        --with-bdb-module=static \
        --enable-ldbm \
        --with-ldbm-api=berkeley \
        --enable-monitor \
        --with-monitor-module=dynamic \
        --enable-perl \
        --with-perl-module=dynamic \
        --enable-slurpd \
        --enable-shared=yes \
        --disable-sql \
	

On the build Host slapd runs.

But on the Target Systems it can't create the bdb database.
Here's the output of "slapd -d 256":

# slapd -d 256
bdb_initialize: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.1.25: (December 19,
2002)
bdb_db_init: Initializing BDB database
bdb(dc=my-domain,dc=com): write: 0xbfffd830, 8192: Invalid argument
bdb_db_open: dbenv_open failed: Invalid argument (22)
backend_startup: bi_db_open(0) failed! (22)
bdb(dc=my-domain,dc=com): txn_checkpoint interface requires an
environment configured for the transaction subsystem
bdb_db_destroy: txn_checkpoint failed: Invalid argument (22)
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.


What is an "environment configured for the transaction subsystem" ?

Ideas ?
