Which toolchain are you using to build?

You should put there all needed library and include dirs.

Since you already successfully built python-ldap's _ldap.so 'include_dirs' is
probably complete.

It seems to me that something's wrong with the runtime library path. Not sure
whether the linker you used on HP-UX sets it.

On Linux I'd try to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include at least the path
containing libldap_r and liblber but I'm not sure whether you can do that on
HP-UX. If that's successful I'd check whether the paths set by 'library_dirs'
are passed to the linker during the build.

Ciao, Michael.
