???

Are you trying to compile python-ldap with include's and libs 
directly from the OpenLDAP source tree?

Didn't you invoke
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openldap
$ make
# make install
to build *and* install OpenLDAP?

Why not just try out yourself? At least you are sitting in front 
of your machine, don't you. ;-)

On Linux the liblber.so, libldap.so, etc. are in the directory 
where parameter library_dirs of setup.cfg is pointing to.

Ciao, Michael.
