Fedora Directory Server Project

I heard that Redhat announced the creation of the Fedora Directory Server project.

I downloaded a copy and tried to build it on one of my x86_64 boxes but it didn’t really work out:

~/tmp/fedora-ds-7.1 $ make
cat: ./x86_64-unknown-linuxoldld/buildnum.dat: No
such file or directory
cat: /etc/redhat-release: No such file or directory
if test ! -d x86_64-unknown-linuxoldld; then mkdir
x86_64-unknown-linuxoldld; fi;
/share/builds/sbstools/nsPerl/20020626/
Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_DBG.OBJ/
nsperl buildnum.pl -p x86_64-unknown-linuxoldld
make: /share/builds/sbstools/nsPerl/20020626/
Linux2.6_x86_glibc_PTH_DBG.OBJ/nsperl:
Command not found
make: *** [buildnum] Error 127

I’m looking forward to trying it out again later on. It will be nice to have options other than OpenLDAP.
