Error: The ordinal 58 could not be located in the dynamic link library ldap.dll

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains how to resolve some dll conflicts that can occur with IBM® Rational® ClearQuest®.

Symptom

Attempts to start the ClearQuest client results in the following error:


    clearquest.exe - Ordinal Not Found
    The ordinal 58 could not be located in the dynamic link library ldap.dll.

Cause

There is a dynamic link library (DLL) conflict occurring with different versions of ldap.dll.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve the .dll conflict:

  1. Search your files and folders for the ldap.dll file. ClearQuest registers the updated version it needs in the *\Rational\Common directory.
  2. Rename any ldap.dll files found that are not in the *\Rational\Common directory. If there are more than one ldap.dll file in the *\Rational\Common directory, remove the older ldap.dll files.
  3. From the \Rational\ClearQuest directory, double-click on the file rereg.bat, which will re-register the necessary ClearQuest dlls.
