I am trying to download the Oracle Berkeley DB , but I only see the 18.1 version and I would need 5.0 according to my OpenLDAP documentation.

https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/related/berkeleydb-downloads.html

When I go to "Previous releases" it takes me nowhere ( I tried with Firefox and Chrome )

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Kind regards.

  • Doesn't Openldap prefer LMDB ? – Gerard H. Pille Jul 13 '20 at 15:00
  • LMDB = MDB ? . If so, I have read that too. But I also read in the "INSTALL" document this : " ... This step ( make test ) requires the standalone LDAP server, slapd(8), with HDB and/or BDB support..." – PaulO Jul 14 '20 at 09:27
  • Do you have a reference for that install document? https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-announce/201907/msg00001.html – Gerard H. Pille Jul 14 '20 at 11:16
  • "H3: Database Software OpenLDAP's {{slapd}}(8) {{TERM:MDB}} primary database backend uses the {{TERM:LMDB}} software included with the OpenLDAP source. There is no need to download any additional software to have {{MDB}} support." (https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/blob/master/doc/guide/admin/install.sdf) – Gerard H.

  • Gerard, I apologise but I didn't understand your question : "Do you have a reference for that install document?" . I meant to say the INSTALL document contained within the OpenLDAP package, once downloaded and unzipped. – PaulO Jul 14 '20 at 12:31
  • OK, then where did you get this "package" that needs a "make test"? – Gerard H. Pille Jul 14 '20 at 13:23
  • From The Official OpenLDAP download site. – PaulO Jul 15 '20 at 07:37
  • My guess is that you downloaded the source, instead of a package. What distribution do you run? The most recent release of openldap is available for almost all distributions. – Gerard H. Pille Jul 15 '20 at 09:00
  • Yes, the source. Sorry, I am new to OpenLDAP. I run CentOS 7 ; but somehow I don't feel my original question addressed. :) – PaulO Jul 17 '20 at 12:55
  • I prefer giving people what they need, not what they ask for. – Gerard H. Pille Jul 17 '20 at 15:14
  • I see. Thanks once again Gerard. – PaulO Jul 20 '20 at 08:24

If you insist on building openldap yourself, Debian has a copy of the sources for libdb5.3: db5.3

  • Thanks Gerald. I have to build it from the sources , but not Debian. I am dealing with CentOS. – PaulO Jul 17 '20 at 12:56
  • The source is the source. It has no relation to a distribution. This is the one from the most recent CentOS 7: https://archive.kernel.org/centos-vault/7.8.2003/os/Source/SPackages/libdb-5.3.21-25.el7.src.rpm – Gerard H. Pille Jul 17 '20 at 15:23
