Bugzilla Bug 25143

If i use python-ldap2.0.0pre13 from portage, the package can't be imported to
my 
application. i get the following error: 

matrix::bin> ./ldap-commander 
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_ldap.so: undefined symbol: 
ldap_first_reference 

If I compile the package on my own, the import of python-ldap works.  
I had a look in the ebuild and noticed, that the settings for the variable
${mylibs} 
are different than in my setup.cfg. 
here is my line: 
libs = ldap lber ssl crypto 

As you may notice, I don't use SASL and I use ldap instead of ldap_r (which is
always 
used in the ebuild). After I changed the ebuild to use ldap instead of ldap_r,
the 
ebuild and the import of the package into my application worked, too. 
Maybe you know, what the difference between ldap and ldap_r is? 

As a sidenote, the package works without any problems in my application. I use
a lot 
of the built-in functionality and never experienced an error from this release
of the 
python-ldap package. Maybe it can be moved to stable soon??? 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 'python' to enter the python-interpreter 
2. 'import ldap' 
Actual Results:  
Import Error: 
>>> import ldap 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ldap/__init__.py", line 21, in ? 
    from _ldap import * 
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_ldap.so: undefined symbol: 
ldap_first_reference 


Expected Results:  
The module should have been imported.

i'm not too sure what the difference is between ldap and ldap_r. according to
your information, it is probably something to do with an optimised build or
something with sasl. i've changed it to use ldap instead of ldap_r when without
sasl.

i want to test it for a bit longer before putting it into stable, especially
since so little people use this. but it will be put into stable soon.
