Sadly, using the builds provided by redhat, which are really geared for 
making the libraries available to other software, and not for running 
OpenLDAP as a server, is a quick path to directory suicide.  I'd suggest 
using Symas Corp.'s free CDS build <http://www.symas.com> or Buchan Milne's 
excellent RPMs (which I unfortunately have not memorized the URL for, but 
you can probably find it in the list archives).
