I assume this is my mod_auth_ldap module? If that's the case, you can
compile it with OpenLDAP libraries and then have it talk to a Netscape
Directory Server. This is, in fact, exactly what I use here.

However, if you really want to compile against the Netscape SDK, I have
made it work using the 4.1 SDK. You'll need to apply the following patch:

 }

The reason I didn't include this as an option in the release for
mod_auth_ldap is that the Netscape SDK seems to have some problems
running inside PTH, and I didn't want to cause more problems than I had
to.

Regards,
Rob.
