o.k. compiled and installed the latest version openldap-2.1.25 without  
errors. then i removed python-ldap from site-package and reinstalled  
it.

because of our special setup where we need different versions of the  
same packages i always define the paths in setup.cfg of pyhton-ldap:

library_dirs = /usr/local/openldap/openldap-2.1.25/lib  
/usr/local/openssl/openssl-0.9.7d/lib
include_dirs = /usr/local/openldap/openldap-2.1.25/include  
/usr/local/openssl/openssl-0.9.7d/include

this should not be the case with the above setup.

the problem with ldap_whoami_s still persists:
