How do I install "Reentrant POSIX REGEX software"?

  • 772

I'm in the process of installing OpenLDAP, and the README file states that "Reentrant POSIX REGEX software" is required. Is there a package I can install with apt install to get this?

apt openldap

    The simplest option would be libc6-dev, the development headers for glibc on Ubuntu. The regex functions provided by glibc are reentrant (note how they're marked MT-safe in the documentation).

    That said, since OpenLDAP is in the repositories, why not install slapd from the repositories? See the Ubuntu LTS Server Guide on installing OpenLDAP for more.
