Bug 600484 – net-nds/openldap-2.4.43 Cannot load module due to module's .la file missing

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description AWa 2016-11-22 15:06:50 UTC]

After upgrade to net-nds/openldap-2.4.43 the *.la files in /usr/lib64/openldap/openldap/ are partially missing. 
43 *.la files for openldap-2.4.38-r2 and only 16 for penldap-2.4.43.

It is not possible to do moduleload of memberof.la module and start openldap.

I can confirm that bug. Especially the "memberof.la" problem. So openldap is basically broken now. Why is this bug still unsolved?

"moduleload memberof.so" instead of "moduleload memberof.la" seems to work. Not tested with affected openldap version though.

[Comment 3 Stefan Briesenick 2017-05-28 17:59:43 UTC]

ok, emerged net-nds/openldap-2.4.44-r1 and changed all .la to .so

=> works!

What is pending here? It seems invalid and people should load .so instead of .la files :/

That is, but default slapd.conf has loadable .la files as example, heh.
(well, not to ssay that slapd.conf method is obsolete and people must switch to cn=config)
