I had the same problem upgrading from 4.5.10 GA to 5.0.0 GA on Fedora 7 (I had been running the RHEL 5 edition of 4.5.10 on Fedora 7, but that is irrelevant to the problem.)

The installer showed:

Restoring existing configuration file from /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig/config.save...done
Operations logged to /tmp/zmsetup.01042008-233745.log
Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256.
Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256.
Setting defaults...Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256.
Starting ldap...failed with exit code 256.
etc, etc.

A look in the file /tmp/zmsetup.log revealed:

/opt/zimbra/openldap/libexec/slapd: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Basically, the Fedora 7 binaries have a dependency on a library which neither the ZCS installer nor the RPM packages test for.

To resolve the problem, I installed libtool-ldtl which you can do by executing:

yum install libtool-ltdl

I did this while the ZCS installer was still running (stuck in its ldap startup retry loop), and at the next retry ldap launched and the ZCS upgrade completed successfully.

Kind regards,
