Like I said, it was more of a learning experience since they want to transition alot of our in-house applications to an RPM format, so I might as well learn how to do it now and figure out my own mistakes and the issues I'll run into rather than waiting until they actually start moving forward on using RPM. OpenLDAP and OpenSSL were just what I was using to learn with and as examples. The original question still stands ( with more information from Frank ) - How do I overwrite the so's for a library that other RPM's are dependant upon? -- sh -----Original Message----- From: rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpm-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tony Earnshaw Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 10:11 PM To: rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Replacing Vendor rpms. to den 14.09.2006 Klokka 18:48 (-0700) skreiv Steven Hajducko: > I should probably rewind a bit more. > > I was in the process of creating a some new LDAP servers to replace > our rather ancient ones.

( For sake of discussion, the OpenSSL package we currently have > is from RH 4.0 EL Update 3 ) Erm ... if you simply want to keep to update 3 and add the latest OpenLDAP (2.3.27) you can save yourself a lot of work by building Buchan Milne's srpm: http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/buchan/openldap/SRPMS/ put http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/pub/Main/BackPorting/macros.mdk4rh into /etc/rpm first. Get the 2.3.27 tgz file from www.openldap.org and edit the srpm spec file to include this as Source (not the bz2 that Mandrake's so fond of) and it will build fine and install next to Red Hat's legacy 2.2.13. You'll have to put up with Buchan's soname and file/man 2.3 extension tacked onto everything, though; symlinks in /usr/bin for the 2.3 -> plain clients work fine.
