Still cannot get ldap_r to be linked

[Roger Thomas]

I am attempting to configure FreeRadius to use our LDAP directory for
authentication and have made the necessary modifications to radiusd.conf,
but get the following error when starting radiusd with:
# /usr/local/sbin/radiusd  -X -A

If I were to go to ~/freeradius-1.1.2/src/modules/rlm_ldap and do a ./configure, I would get these:

I'm using freeradius-1.1.2 on Redhat Linux 9 and openldap-2.0.25,  everything appeared to compile okay.

I'm no C programmer. So please go slow. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
