If "ldapdelete" was your full command, most likely:
1)Your configuration files (e.g. /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, .ldaprc etc.) are 
not configured
2)You should provide the hostname/IP of the LDAP server, or a URI on the 
command line

Read the man page for ldapdelete, or if you want assistance, provide the full 
command line you are using.
