Samba startup error

[gringomike]

I have installed various versions of Samba (most recently the precompiles version from bullfreeware) but i keep getting the same error.

/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd smbd –D

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd because of the following errors:
0509-150 Dependent module libldap.a(libldap.so.2) could not be
loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module libldap.a(libldap.so.2).
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.

The server is running AIX 5.1.

Does anyone know why this is happening or, more importantly, how to resolve it?

I’ve installed libiconv-1.9.1.0.bff from the bullfreeware site but this has made no difference to the problem.

Thanks for your help!

I think you should check where libldap.a is on your system. If you find it, you can set LIBPATH with its path of this file, or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I am not sure what difference is between them. So try both. Good luky
