[python-ldap] Pip install failure

[Kenneth Koski]

Not quite sure if this is a python-ldap issue, or a pip issue. Reporting a
bug/feature request here, though, and if someone can redirect me to the
right group, I'll send it that way.

At any rate, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with virtualenv. I tried doing a "pip
install python-ldap", which apparently tried to build from source. It
failed with the error message "too many arguments to function
‘interaction’". After doing some Google searching it turns out that the
libraries libldap2-dev, libsasl2-dev, and libssl-dev are required. It seems
like there should be a more informative way of letting the user know that
they need to install these libraries without requiring them to resort to
using a search engine.

Thanks,
Ken Koski
