Actual Results: Rebuild fails (no changes were done in spec file for now, but would be done later to enable LDAP support). Expected Results: Rebuild on a RHL9/SRPMS should working on a RHL9 system... Additional info: Same after installing compat-db, doesn't help. Rebuild of current rawhide/SRPMS cyrus-sasl-2.1.15-4.src.rpm works, after creating a softlink: ln -s /usr/kerberos/bin/krb5-config /usr/bin (bug or feature of krb5-devel of RHL9?

Peter, I only know that problem as I replaced db4 version 4.2.52 by the older 4.0.14 or if I did some linking changes against db4. Maybe you've got a look to bug #120562, because I'm providing there a working spec file for RHL9 with cyrus-sasl-2.1.18 (working also for 2.1.19) including a bundled libdb4 to work around NPTL problems at i586.
I have giving up the fight against the *Strange* Authentication Security Layer short after I ran into that problems and created the "simpleauth" patch for postfix. Also RHL9 is no longer supported, therefore this bug can be closed imho.
Yeah, okay...I only wanted to add this (maybe useful) information - maybe for people having the same problem and looking for a solution - even if RHL9 is unsupported now ;-) BTW: Sorry, I can't close that bug, only the reporter or the assigned person(s) (or higher of course) can do that.
Bug closed because no longer of interest.
