Yes, that should be sufficient for python-ldap.

Which platform is that on? Could you please check with

ldd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/_ldap.so

or a similar tool whether libldap(_r) of your OpenLDAP build is
dynamically linked?

Did you adjust the parameters 'library_dirs' and 'include_dirs' in
file setup.cfg to point to your OpenLDAP client lib installation before
running python setup.py build?

No.

Ciao, Michael.
