I followed the directions in the README under ‘BUILDING’. I was able to
get the
extconf.rb to run after doing apt-get install libldap2-dev. I had
already
successfully built and installed ruby and openssl from source on this
Ubuntu
Server: root@leopard:~# uname -a

GNU/Linux
openssl appears to be working, and is installed in the appropriate spot.
This
is probably just an omission I am not guessing. Can someone see
something
obvious? If not I’ll file a bug tomorrow.

Perhaps this is not a roadblock, but it appears to be a real bug if it
cannot
compile. I see not reference to the symbol LOAD_OPT_X_TLS_PROTOCOL in
the
directory tree.

Sorry. I should have said LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_PROTOCOL does not exist in the
tree
except in conn.c and ldap.c.

This is standard C debugging, so I don’t think it really belongs on a
Ruby list any more.

$ find /usr/include -type f | xargs grep LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_PROTOCOL
/usr/include/ldap.h:/* #define LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_PROTOCOL 0x6007 */

So the constant exists in the openldap headers, but is commented out for
some reason. A note earlier in the file says this is an openldap private
option.

As to why ruby-ldap uses this option, but openldap doesn’t provide it:
well, that’s something to do with the ruby-ldap library. If you look at
the patches which the Ubuntu package applies to make it build, you’ll
probably find what they do to fix it.
