I have downloaded the Netscape LDAP development libs from Netscape's site that are specific to my version of AIX... I ran the 'perl Makefile.PL' script per the instructions in the README file and then ran a make. What I got: me@mybox$ make LD_RUN_PATH="" ld -o ./blib/arch/auto/Mozilla/LDAP/API/API.so -H512 -T5 12 -bhalt:4 -bM:SRE -bI:/usr/local/products/perl/lib/aix/5.00404/CORE/perl.exp - bE:API.exp -b noentry -lc -L/usr/local/lib API.o ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_value_free ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_value_free_len [and about 70 more of these] I've reinstalled at least 3 times and have checked and rechecked all the relevant binaries and include headers and so forth: no go. Has anyone else had similar problems? -- Patrick Lewis College of William & Mary, IT Engineering ptlew1@mail.wm.edu

More from Patrick: Hi, Yeah, I thought it was odd that it didn't add those parameters in there. I did run perl Makefile.PL as instructed, and I am running PERL 5.004_04. One definite problem with AIX is that it doesn't seem to like dynamically-linked libraries. The LDAP libraries make extensive use of these.

From: matts@us.ibm.com Leif, I was working on getting Perldap installed on aix 4.3.2 and was having difficulty with the make. When checking on the bugs for Perldap someone else had the same problem back in december and opened a bug report on Perldap, which in turn shows that it has be reassigned to you. Basically the problem is that the ldapssl30.so library seems to not be loaded so when linking against it you get a bunch of messages like: ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_value_free ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_value_free_len ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_abandon ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_add ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_mods_free ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_add_s ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_ber_free ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_bind ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_bind_s ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_compare ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_compare_s ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_count_entries ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_create_filter ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_delete ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_delete_s ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_dn2ufn ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_err2string ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_explode_dn ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .ldap_explode_rdn Has there been any progress on this bug. We are really interested in using the LDAP SDK but need to get passed this problem quickly. Thanks, Matt Stokes Software Engineer CLPD, MCP

I don't know if this will help, but this was posted in newsgroup: Well - for some reason I couldn't get the AIX 4.3.2 to understand how to find /usr/local/ldapsdk/lib/libldapssl30.so and the default Makefile created by "perl makefile.PL" failed. I "fixed" this adding the absolute path to lib-file: LD_RUN_PATH="$(LD_RUN_PATH)" $(LD) -o $@ $(LDDLFLAGS) $(LDFROM) $(OTHERLDFLAGS) $(MYEXTLIB) $(PERL_ARCHIVE) $(LDLOADLIBS) $(EXPORT_LIST) /usr/local/ldapsdk/lib/libldapssl30.so Seems to work.

From: Matt Stokes <matts@us.ibm.com> Actually, we were finally able to get it compiled. We were using gcc to compile and had to edit the make file as follows: 1) Changed: CC=gcc 2) Appended to LDDLFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib -lldapssl30 -brtl That was it. Everything compiled fine from there out and we are running it now.

Is this option needed/available for all AIX versions, or just the one you're running on? I need to make some sort of "#ifdef" in the Makefile.PL, for AIX. Btw, what does $Config{"osname"} say on your Perl installation? Is it AIX? It's in the module named Config.pm, part of the normal Perl5 installation. Thanks! -- leif

This bug has not been touched for more than nine months. In most cases, that means it has "slipped through the net". Please could the owner take a moment to add a comment to the bug with current status, and/or close it. Thank you :-) Gerv

There doesn't seem to be any listeners to this, so close as INVALID. If anyone can provide a test system for AIX, I'd be happy to make sure we fix this for PerLDAP v1.5.

(In reply to comment #11) > There doesn't seem to be any listeners to this, so close as INVALID. If anyone > can provide a test system for AIX, I'd be happy to make sure we fix this for > PerLDAP v1.5. The problem is that some perl versions are built where the '-brtl' option to the linker is not passed, so libraries which end with the '.so' extension are not found during a search. This seems to be fixed in more recent versions of Perl for AIX. For me, the following change fixes the issue with Perl 5.6 (which ships with AIX 5.1): Index: Makefile.PL =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/mozilla/directory/perldap/Makefile.PL,v retrieving revision 1.16 diff -u -u -r1.16 Makefile.PL --- Makefile.PL 5 Oct 2000 19:47:28 -0000 1.16 +++ Makefile.PL 28 Nov 2005 18:03:35 -0000 @@ -167,6 +167,10 @@ # push(@extras, POLLUTE => 1) if ($] >= 5.006); +if ($osname =~ /aix/i) { + push(@extras, LDDLFLAGS => $Config{'lddlflags'} .

This is not being actively tracked, and probably nobody cares about it.
