Python-LDAP wont compile [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 11 years ago.

So I got the latest python-ldap from source. I am also running the source compiled version of python 2.7.2 and I am running this on RHEL. So when I try to compile the package I get this long error message as seen below. So I installed the openldap-devel package and now it is a much smaller error. But still not compiling.

Since this is closed because the question, this doesnt ocmpile please help me out is not a question. I figured it out. I had to manually compile the latest ldap, berkleydb, and then do a build install with it. Then it built fine

The first and second error message state that you're missing lber.h and ldap.h. This is a strong pointer to a missing or invalid openldap-devel package. Do you you have that package (or a similar one matching *ldap-dev*) installed?

Possibly a mismatch in the OpenLDAP and python-ldap versions. Try to compile the latest python-ldap version against a decent version of OpenSSL. E.g. Debian systems have notorious old versions of OpenLDAP installed...
