Note that OpenLDAP 2.2.13 is really ancient! It was released almost eight
years ago and should not be used anymore. 2.2.x series has not been maintained
by OpenLDAP developers for years. You won't get support for this anywhere. You
definitely cannot compile recent python-ldap releases on such a platform.
If you're stuck on a certain Linux distribution (I guess old RHEL 4 or
earlier) you should either
1. stick to Python and python-ldap packages provided for this distribution
or
2. also compile recent OpenLDAP, OpenSSL and SASL libs yourself to a separate
prefix (take care of run-time linking issues!).
Ciao, Michael.
