You follow steps 1-6.  You might also want to review the FAQ and
our new "Quick Startup Guide" at:

You need to build from the top-level directory after running
configure with appropriate options for your system.  To build
a standalone LDAP server with database support you must have
an LDBM compatible database manager preinstalled.  LDBM is
compatible with BerkeleyDB 2.7.5 from Sleepycat Software
(http://www.sleepycat.com/) and GDBM from Free Software Foundation
(http://www.gnu.org/).

The quick guide provides an overview of the process.  It's meant
to be used in conjunction with the README, INSTALL, and FAQ.

If you have additional questions, I recommend you post to our
software mailing list (http://www.openldap.org/lists/).  You
must be subscribed to post.
