That problem is that when I run gmake it eventually errors out with:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
ldap_start_tls_s libpq/auth.o
ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to postgres

Needless to say, checking with nm confirms that ldap_start_tls_s is
present in libldap_r.so -- so I try forcing the issue:

root(at)testdb:/home/locadmin/postgresql-9.0.4#LIBS="-lldap_r" gmake

At this point 'gmake' works, as does 'gmake install' and when I check with
ldd things appear to be linked properly:

So I set up my postgresql.conf to allow remote connections and my
pg_hba.conf to use LDAP authentication; I load my data; I try to connect
using LDAP--

And authentication fails, and I see in the log:

Assertion failed: LBER_VALID( ber ), file sasl.c, line 103, function
ldap_sasl_bind
LOG: server process (PID 7675) was terminated by signal 6
LOG: terminating any other active server processes
WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process

Of course the function is also present in that @#$%^& libldap_r:

root(at)testdb:/home/locadmin# nm /usr/lib/libldap_r.so | grep
"ldap_sasl_bind"
[1385] | 104232| 760|FUNC |GLOB |0 |12 |ldap_sasl_bind
[1309] | 104992| 327|FUNC |GLOB |0 |12 |ldap_sasl_bind_s

It seems there's some magic incantation to REALLY bind that I'm just not
seeing here. Any help gratefully accepted.
