In general, you should NOT edit ldapconfig.h.edit (our INSTALL
instructions need to be updated to reflect this).  If you want
to muck with installation directories, use configure options.
'./configure --help' will give you a brief listing of the
available options.  More help is available in file
doc/install/configure.

You are reading the U-Mich reference manual.  OpenLDAP has a
complete different build/install environment which is documented
in the 'INSTALL' file within the distribution.

--enable-DLDAP_DEBUG is meaningless to configure and hence should
not be included on the configure command line.

Ugly, but I don't see any real problem with it.

I assumed you had one, I wanted to see what various directives
you used (specifically "suffix").

slapd.conf.

I think Mike hit on the root of your ldapsearch problems...

I strong recommend you start over with a fresh copy of OpenLDAP 1.2.1
(so as to have a pristine ldapconfig.h.edit) and build your database
with DNs that do not require LDAP quoting.  Once built, use ldbmcat
and ldapsearch -b 'o=org, c=US' 'objectclass=*' to verify the database.

Good luck, Kurt
