Re: DB_PRIVATE Error OpenLDAP 2.3.13 (source) and DB4 4.2.52 (rpm)

[Matias Silva <matiassilva@gmail.com>]

Hi Howard, and Perry

I was able to compile it successfully and run the tests.  I don't know
with absolute certainty if was because I deleted my source directory and
started over from scratch OR simply used LDFLAGS=-L/lib ./configure.

Will the next version of ldap automatically detect whether you are
using pthreads or not?

Thanks for your time and help,
Matt
