I don't know about PHP, but I saw some similar messages when I was
trying to compile mod_ldap support into apache. The problem was caused
because the module you are linking in is looking for the ldap library
(which contains all the ldap-specific functions).

I found the solution to be to edit the apache-src/src/Configuration.tmpl
file and add the following entries:

EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-L/home/rfadler/bin/openldap-1.2.9/libraries
EXTRA_LIBS=-lldap -llber
EXTRA_INCLUDES=-I/home/rfadler/bin/openldap-1.2.9/include

Then run the apache configure utility.

Please note the path "/home/rfadler/bin/openldap-1.2.9" is where I
installed openldap.

Good luck.
