I don't know who built this for you, but OpenLDAP 2.3+ does not allow you 
to build against BDB 4.3, as it has been proven unreliable.  This would 
imply you are running a hacked version of OpenLDAP by people who don't know 
what they are doing.

You failed to create the dc=my-domain,dc=com entry, which must exist first. 
I.e.:

dn: dc=my-domain,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: My org
dc: my-domain
l: Pune
