RHEL6/CentOS6's provided openldap RPM is required by a zillion packages so it can not be removed. To prevent the RE24 build from ever using the system openldap libs in /lib64 the solution seems to be to allow rpath in the RE24 build so the RE24 apps always use the RE24 libs in the $rpath location. Better solutions always welcome :-)
Hi Patrick,it is generally a bad idea to use Linux distro provided OpenLDAP packages for a variety of reasons. The best idea is to build OpenLDAP into your own location for server & client packages, so you are isolated from the general junk shipped by the distro.
A good example of doing this the right way is the ltb project: <http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap> You can of course use their spec files for your local build. ;) --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Sr. Member of Technical Staff Zimbra, Inc A Division of VMware, Inc. -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
