Did you mean LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING?

But at any rate, LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING ( ie. ld->ld_error ) does not 
appear to be set on errors only LDAP_OPT_ERROR_NUMBER ( ld->ld_errno ).

To test, I am adding an object into the directory that already exists.
If I do...

ldap_get_option(ldap_server_connection, LDAP_OPT_ERROR_NUMBER, &err );
printf("ERROR: %d>%s\n", err, ldap_err2string(err));

I get what I expect... "ERROR: 68>Already exists" but...

ldap_get_option(ldap_server_connection, LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING, 
&error_string );

returns an empty string in error_string.

I used gdb to confirm that although the error number is set, ld_error 
was not set in the LDAP structure by the ldap_add_ext_s() function call 
when it failed.
