I thought this was a bug in the `libopenldap', so I emailed the maintainer of the Debian libopenldap package. (Ben Collins <bcollins(a)debian.org>) He told me that there's been changes made... The `potato' version of libopenldap is a current CVS development snapshot. I'd tracked it down to there being, in `ldap.h', a `typedef struct ldap LDAP', but no `struct ldap' to be found. I was told that `struct ldap' has been moved to private headers, since it's not supposed to be visible to user codes anymore. He said perhaps he'd have a look at the XEmacs `eldap.[hc]', and I told him about cvs.xemacs.org, told him the password to anoncvs, about the WWW at cvs.xemacs.org, and that more info is in the FAQ, please join the list, etc. I don't know if he's got time to deal with it or not... I guess Oscar F. is really the one who ought to do the work anyway?? At any rate, I have no clue how to fix it. I'll look at your diffs, iff I've the time and remember to. The stack of books is threatening to fall on me again... I've got to go.
