You don't have the necessary include files (library headers) installed as
indicated by these lines in your build log:

-------------------------- snip --------------------------
    In file included from Modules/LDAPObject.c:9:
    Modules/errors.h:8:18: error: lber.h: No such file or directory
    Modules/errors.h:9:18: error: ldap.h: No such file or directory
-------------------------- snip --------------------------

Please look at the build prerequisites section in the docs:

http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/installing.html#prerequisites

I guess you have to install the *-devel packages of OpenLDAP, OpenSSL and
Cyrus-SASL. I don't know the exact RPM package names on your platform though.
Installing the OpenLDAP -devel package should pull in all others based on the
RPM dependencies.

Ciao, Michael.
