No. The "ldapssl_init" function is used by non-OpenLDAP LDAP libraries 
to open an ldaps session. This function is unnecessary. In OpenLDAP you 
can use ldap_init or ldap_initialize to create an ldaps session, there 
is no need for any special ldapssl_* functions.

If the situation you saw was an error, the configure script should have 
stopped immediately. Since the package you're working with is not 
OpenLDAP software, this is as much as I'll say on this mailing list.
