Thanks Brian for the reply. I have set CC to 'gcc' and CFLAGS to '-lsocket'. Tried setting CC to 'gcc -ansi' also but without success. I am attaching the config.log file as I was unable to figure out the issue. Regards Prabhjeet Singh Need a helping hand?

The error you are seeing is due to generic C compiler detection code in autoconf; it's not specific to openldap. It is the result of ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc being set to 'no' after a call to AC_PROG_CC. This happens when autoconf can't figure out how to set the selected C compiler into ANSI mode (i.e. accepting function prototypes.) gcc 2.95.2 is ancient (released on 10-27-1999, nearly 7 years ago!) but it should still support standard ANSI C prototypes. Therefore you're probably running into a configuration problem. It would be helpful if you posted what values you have set for the environment variables such as CC and CFLAGS, if any. You might also try experimenting with setting CC to "gcc" or perhaps "gcc -ansi". You should also look at the config.log file generated by configure that has the results of the tests. Look at the part near "Checking for $CC option to accept ANSI C" and see why it fails. Also, consider posting to the autoconf list (which I added to CC), as this doesn't seem to necessarily have anything to do with gcc so much as autoconf.
