[Zope] newbie question - python-ldap

[Jerry Hsieh]

Hi all,

I installed plone2 on a RedHat9(Python2.2 comes with the OS itself) by
following the instruction from http://longsleep.org/howto/rh9-python233 with
no problem.

Now I have some questions regarding the python-ldap installation. According
to the "HowToActiveDirectory"
http://plone.org/documentation/howto/HowToActiveDirectory from Plone.org

1. Install LDAP for Zope
2. install the openLDAP RPM's
3. openldap-2.0.27-2.8.0
4. openldap-devel-2.0.27-2.8.0
5. Install python-ldapwget
http://www.open-it.org/download/redhat7.2/RPMS/python-ldap-2.0.0pre05-1.i386
.rpm (couldn't find API for RedHat9 either)
6. rpm -i python-ldap-2.0.0pre05-1.i386.rpm (get dependencies error message,
tried with --nodeps but installed in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/
instead of /usr/lib/python2.3/...../)
7. cd $ZOPEBASE/lib/python2.1
8. ln -s /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/_ldap.so .

Is there any other way to install python-ldap API on RedHat9 with
Plone2+Python2.3? Any comment/suggestion is welcome

Thanks for your time
