Check config.status. Here's what I've got:

s%@exec_prefix@%${prefix}%g
s%@prefix@%/opt/gnu/depot/openldap-1.2.6%g
s%@program_transform_name@%s,x,x,%g
s%@bindir@%${exec_prefix}/bin%g
s%@sbindir@%${exec_prefix}/sbin%g
s%@libexecdir@%${exec_prefix}/libexec%g
s%@datadir@%${prefix}/share%g
s%@sysconfdir@%/opt/openldap/etc%g <----
s%@sharedstatedir@%${prefix}/com%g
s%@localstatedir@%/opt/openldap/var%g <----
s%@libdir@%${exec_prefix}/lib%g
s%@includedir@%${prefix}/include%g
s%@oldincludedir@%/usr/include%g
s%@infodir@%${prefix}/info%g
s%@mandir@%${prefix}/man%g

I don't know much about autoconf but it looks like it's doing the right thing.
Does slapd have a command line option to print out it's default paths?

Where else can I look to try and determine where the problem is occuring?
