Subject: ruby-ldap: uninitialized constant LDAP::LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS

Hi,

I'm trying to run the pr_ctl example script provided with the 0.9.2
distribution of ruby-ldap. It dies with "./pr_ctl:41: uninitialized
constant LDAP::LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS (NameError)".

I need to use this control, but I can't figure out why this is
happening. This constant is mentioned in ldap.c:

#ifdef LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS
  rb_define_const (rb_mLDAP, "LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS",
		   rb_str_new2 (LDAP_CONTROL_PAGEDRESULTS));
#endif

I've installed the source distribution of ruby-ldap in place of the
version that Debian provides. I thought perhaps the script was
accessing an older version of the shared library, but there don't seem
to be any old versions lying around. I've added
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/i486-linux (the location of the 0.9.2
shared lib) to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig: no joy.

Any other ideas on how to debug this?

thanks
jh
