or so. Usually, the five lines

indicate that slapd didn't start at all.
For OpenLDAP 2.2 and later, in tests/testrun/slapd.1.log
there is a full log of what slapd wrote while trying to start.
The log level can be increased by setting the environment variable
SLAPD_DEBUG to the corresponding value;
see loglevel in slapd.conf(5) for the meaning of log levels.
A typical reason for this behavior is a runtime link problem, i.e. slapd cannot find some dynamic libraries it was linked against. Try running ldd(1) on slapd (for those architectures that support runtime linking).
There might well be other reasons; the contents of the log file should help clarifying them.
Tests that fire up multiple instances of slapd typically log to tests/testrun/slapd.<n>.log, with a distinct <n> for each instance of slapd; list tests/testrun/ for possible values of <n>.
