Linux – starting Standalone LDAP Daemon, slapd

ldaplinuxopenldapredhat

I am following THIS guide to install an ldap server. At step 9 i use: 

/usr/local/libexec/slapd

instead of:

su root -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd

since i dont have access to su

I get this message:

/usr/local/libexec/slapd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-6.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when i try: ldd /usr/local/libexec/slapd

I Get:

/usr/local/libexec/slapd linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffe01ff000)
libdb-5.3.so => /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.6.0/lib/libdb-6.0.so (0x00007fe2f743e000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003fd1400000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003fd1400000) libr                                                                                                                                                             
esolv.so.2 => /lib64/libresolv.so.2 (0x0000003fd2c00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/lib

Can anyone see a problem with this?

Verify that the /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.6.0/lib/libdb-6.0.so file exists and is readable by your account. If that is the case, try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to include that directory:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.6.0/lib
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then try running the slapd executable again.
