Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Installing nsldap with aolserver-4.5.0: make: execvp: /usr/local/aolserver: Permission denied

Is libnsldap.a where ranlib is looking for it? You may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to something else in your compile/run shell.

You can also report more info here, or at the AOLserver list (join at aolserver.com).
