There's no ./configure in the recent version. The build and
installation process uses DistUtils (shipped with Python 2.0+). You
have to edit setup.cfg to reflect the position of your OpenLDAP 2
headers and libs and invoke

$ python setup.py build

If that was successful you invoke as root

$ python setup.py install

Afterwards you should be able to use without errors

$ python -c "import ldap"

Ciao, Michael.
