[squid-users] squid-7.0.2 can't configure with LDAP-helpers

[Francesco Chemolli]

Hi Ankor,
  it's really hard to help you with this little context. The main
reason why both these helpers may fail to build is because the LDAP
libraries were not found on the system. Would you mind running on your
system:

$ ./configure --enable-auth-basic=LDAP,SMB,SMB_LM
--enable-auth-negotiate=kerberos,wrapper --enable-auth-ntlm=SMB_LM
--enable-external-acl-helpers=kerberos_ldap_group,wbinfo_group
>/tmp/configure.log 2>&1 && grep -i ldap /tmp/configure.log

and sharing the output from that command?
