Mark,

Obviously someone that doesn't bother posting to the list and doesn't inform
the maintainers is not going to get this fixed. Sorry for expressing my
frustration. Open Source can be great but it takes weeks to perform installs
of packages, with lots of hand holding from wonderful people like you. So
thank you for your help.

Back to your response. The current configuration requires both db4 and
'libiconv' requires db44. So are you suggesting...
    I edit openldap ( sudo port edit openldap )
        remove the lines preceded with minuses (-) 
        add the lines preceeded with pluses (+)
    Do not change the arguments in db44 "--enable-compat185
--enable-dump185"
?
If so, I have successfully installed apache2 +openldap with db4, should I
redo it with db44? I don't need backward compatibility, but I also don't
know if there is a good reason to use the newer version.

If I do need to redo this, should I...
    sudo port uninstall db4
    edit openldap as described above
    sudo port -v update apache2
        or: sudo port -v update openldap
            sudo port -v update apache2
        or another way...
?

Thanks for your help,

- Miles
