Oh boy! Here we go again!! I was trying this out on a virtual machine on my Mac and somehow my VM got mangled and I had to start all over. I was actually Ok with doing this thinking I would be able to figure out a repeatable process.
What I did was install a fresh copy of ubuntu 8.10 server. I then followed my own sequence above (add first the openldap and python-ldap sections, no plone.app.ldap references, and ran buildout), but I am stuck in exactly the same spot... bildout complaining that Error: Couldn't find a distribution for 'python-ldap>=2.0.6'.However, I have the following in my buildout.cfg: [python-ldap] recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom url = http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/python-ldap/python-ldap-2.3.6.tar.gz egg = python-ldap include-dirs = ${openldap:location}/include library-dirs = ${openldap:location}/lib [openldap] recipe = zc.recipe.cmmi url = ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-stable/openldap-stable-20080813.tgz extra_options = --with-sasl --with-tls --enable-slapd=no and I actually have already installed the binary packages (via ubuntu's apt-get install) for openldap and python-ldap. In this paste you can see the versions of both: python-ldap is 2.3.4. In this other paste I have a copy of my current bildout.cfg. So: 1) It seems buildout is not looking for the packages I have installed on my OS before trying to build them (otherwise, why is it complaining about the python-ldap version?), and 2) Even if it was unable to see and/or make use of the binary packages I have on my OS, the link I am referencing in the python-ldap section is for version 2.3.6 (!!)... so it is not using this either. This takes me to believe: 1) There is somewhere else that buildout is looking for python-ldap... but where? I cannot figure it out. 2) There must be a way to tell buildout to use the python-ldap installed on my system... but how? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Plone-3---LDAP-with-remote-server--what-to-intall-tp2529188p2578678.html Sent from the Installation, Setup, Upgrades mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
