Re: openldap-2.4.23 compile configure: error: could not locate ndbclient library

[Yusuf Rajah <yusuf@josephking.it>]

Hi Quanah

Thanks for the help. I could not figure out what was wrong with the headers. What I did do was to download, mysql-cluster-gpl-7.1.5-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz, the generic binary for MySQL Cluster and install as per the instructions. I then built OpenLDAP from the openldap-2.4.23 source and it compiled perfectly, no errors.

Thank you for helping point me in the right direction, hope this helps others out there too.

Kind regards

Yusuf Rajah

This clearly shows two things:

(a) It found your locally installed headers
(b) There is something wrong with the header files being used, so trying to 
compile anything against them throws an error.  You need to find what is 
wrong with the ndb_types.h file from MySQL.  This is not an OpenLDAP issue.
