Hi Michael.

Thanks for your help on the warning.

But you got me wrong on the second problem:

I want a python script to use the  python-ldap  version in my home dir rather
than the one installed in the usual dir.  I set
export
PYTHONPATH=/home/ceumern/ldap/python-ldap-2.0.0pre05/build/lib.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.1/

 and this is what i get:

bash-2.03$ python -d /home/ceumern/ldap/ldap_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ceumern/ldap/ldap_test.py", line 6, in ?
    import ldap
  File
"/home/ceumern/ldap/python-ldap-2.0.0pre05/build/lib.solaris-2.8-sun4u-2.1/ldap/__init__.py",
line 11, in ?
    from _ldap import *
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: libldap.so.2: open failed: No such file or
directory

when i unset the variable the skript uses the version installed under
python2.1/site-packages/ldap and it works.
there seems to be something wrong with my built version, but i cannot figure
out what.

regards, Ulf
