before you build the software. Some usefull options are --prefix=pref ,
--exec-prefix=eprefix and --bindir=dir, for setting instalation directories.
Normally if you run configure without options, it will auto-detect the
appropriate settings and prepare to build things on the default common location.
So just type: </P

>Tip:</B
> Sometimes you need to pass specific options to
your configure script, like for example --with-tls (for enabling slapd to use a secure channel: LDAPS://).
In this case, you might have your SSL/TLS libraries residing on a non-standard directory of your system.
You can make the configure script aware of the libraries location changing you environment with the
<EM
>env</EM
> command.
Example: suppose you've installed the openssl package under /usr/local/openssl. The following
command will build slapd with SSL/TLS support:</P
