DETAILS?  OpenLDAP version?  Platform?  configure settings
(environment and command line)?

   Better details enable better answers...

My best guess is that you used a relative path for a directory
in your CPPFLAGS.  Make sure those -Idirectory (and -Ldirectory)
options use absolute paths (ie: start with a '/').

You must have 'make depend' using a prior, stale configuration.  If you
change your environment, you MUST do a 'make veryclean'
(or 'rm config.cache') before rerunning configure.

Like OpenLDAP, Sleepycat BerkeleyDB is a source distribution.
You must build it!  They have installation instructions in
the distribution and on their web site <http://www.sleepycat.com/>.

Also, I noticed you used LIBS="-lpthread -lposix4" and --without-threads.
Seems kind of pointless to link in pthread libraries if you aren't going
to use them.

Obviously cascading errors...

Did you make changes to ldapconfig.h.edit (or ldapconfig.h)?
If so, check your edits.

What did you set them to?

thanks for answering,

the set of errors i have begin like that :

Where are the octothorpe (#) characters!  They are needed before the C
preprocessor directives!

As I pointed out early, you really 'should not change' this ldapconfig.h.edit.
Copy ldapconfig.h.edit from the distribution.  Do not edit ldapconfig.h.edit!
Use configure to specify alternative installation directions.  This can be done
individually (see ./configure --help) or by using an alternative prefix.
(example: ./configure --prefix=/n/fs052/didi/OpenLDAP/ldap).

Kurt

i did exactly what you said.
the ldapconfig.h.edit i have is the default one.
i launched the installation with :
example: ./configure --prefix=/n/fs052/didi/OpenLDAP/ldap

and i obtained (after the make command) that :

testavl.c: In function `main':

i can suppose that these are only warnings => no errors

thank you

These are benign and will be cleaned up in the next release.

hi,
i'd like to be sure of one thing :
it seems that you do not provide in openldap
distribution the code of the routines :
ldap_search, ldap_result, ...
am i right ?
if yes, do you know of any way to get the code
i'd like to study the way search queries on
ldap data are evaluated
thank you very much for your help
