since 2.4.37 you should get it working without path changes and symbolic links by just
setting env vars. At least I got it working on one Ubuntu box one time.

This is not yet documented. But you can easily find out about the env vars used by
looking at how the class attributes of SlapdObject are initially set:

    TMPDIR = os.environ.get('TMP', os.getcwd())
    SBINDIR = os.environ.get('SBIN', '/usr/sbin')
    BINDIR = os.environ.get('BIN', '/usr/bin')
    SCHEMADIR = os.environ.get('SCHEMA', '/etc/openldap/schema')
    INIT_SCHEMA_FILE = os.environ.get('SCHEMA_FILE', 'core.schema')
    INIT_SCHEMA_PATH = os.environ.get('SCHEMA_PATH', os.path.join(SCHEMADIR,
INIT_SCHEMA_FILE))
    PATH_LDAPADD = os.path.join(BINDIR, 'ldapadd')
    PATH_LDAPMODIFY = os.path.join(BINDIR, 'ldapmodify')
    PATH_LDAPWHOAMI = os.path.join(BINDIR, 'ldapwhoami')
    PATH_SLAPD = os.environ.get('SLAPD', os.path.join(SBINDIR, 'slapd'))
    PATH_SLAPTEST = os.path.join(SBINDIR, 'slaptest')

Ciao, Michael.
