Bug 378847 – net-nds/openldap needs sys-devel/libtool as a build dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul B. Henson 2011-08-11 23:43:56 UTC]

I happened to be building openldap on a system which didn't have libtool installed, and it failed:

        checking ltdl.h usability... no
        checking ltdl.h presence... no
        checking for ltdl.h... no
        configure: error: could not locate libtool ltdl.h

I don't know how common this scenario might be, but I see other ebuilds explicitly list libtool as a dep, so perhaps it should be added?

Thanks...

This is not only a build dependency. When using a binhost and emerging OpenLDAP from a binary package, it would not start with the following error message:

 * Starting ldap-server ...
/usr/lib64/openldap/slapd: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/lib64/openldap/slapd'                                                                                      [ !! ]
 * ERROR: slapd failed to start
