Invalid argument

[robub14@us.ibm.com]

I am new to this so bear wih me.

I am running Yellow Dog Linux on an IBM RS6000 F50.
I installed openldap-stable on it without any configuration options.
ie.  ./configure
     make depend
     make
     make install
And the installation appeared to run smoothly.
I tried to run the test program ./tests/make and it fails:
     ln: ./data: cannot overwrite directory
     make: [all-local] Error 1 (ignored)
     Initiating LDAP tests...
     >>>>> Executing all LDAP tests...
     >>>>> Test Directory: .
     >>>>> Backend: ldbm
     >>>>> Starting test001-ldif2ldbm ...
     running defines.sh . ldbm
     Datadir is ./data
     Cleaning up in ./test-db...
     Running ldif2ldbm to build slapd database...
     ldif2ldbm failed!
     >>>>> ./scripts/test001-ldif2ldbm failed (exit 1)
     make: *** [all-local] Error 1

I then traced the program and found that it exits in ./libraries/libldbm/ldbm.c
in the function ldbm_init() and the error is logged as:

     ldbm_initialize(): FATAL error in in db_appinit() : Invalid argument


If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
