Hello,
Try the following method:
ldd ./ns-slapd | grep libnspr | awk '{print $3}'
If the target file is a symbolic link, you are using a package/native install else this is a zip install.
example:
pc1234$ pwd
/data/test/DS/Patch6/bin/slapd/server/64
pc1234$ ldd ./ns-slapd | grep libnspr | awk '{print $3}'
../../../../lib/64/libnspr4.so
if [ -h /data/test/DS/Patch6/bin/slapd/server/64/../../../../lib/64/libnspr4.so ]; then
echo "Symlink. pkg"
else
echo "Not a symlink - zip install"
fi
Hope this helps
Sylvain
