This sounds like you are executing the Ubuntu version of ldapdelete 
(/usr/bin/ldapdelete from package ldap-utils) but it is loading your 
self-compiled libraries from /usr/local/lib.

The probable explanation is that your personal PATH includes 
/usr/local/bin but the PATH used by the cron job does not.

You can solve that by modifying PATH in the cron job, but if you intend 
to use self-compiled OpenLDAP, I recommend uninstalling the Ubuntu 
OpenLDAP packages (ldap-utils and slapd) and using only your own.

As far as running newer OpenLDAP versions on Ubuntu, you may also 
consider packaged OpenLDAP distributions offered by various community 
members:

unofficial PPA, updates the Ubuntu LTS packages to versions from later 
releases)
