I assume: 
  configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one

Note: please always provide error messages as they appeared.

Considerring the platform, I suspect you do not have a
C compiler install and/or properly configured.

What does "cc -v" report?
Do you have $CC or $BUILD_CC defined in your environment?
If so, what version do they report?

Also, what does "uname -a" report?

autoconf and related tools need only be installed if you
intend to genenerate a new configure script.  Once
generated, the configure script no longer depends upon
the tools.  Hence, the average user need not install
autoconf.  It's okay for them to be 'missing'.

Check config.log.  It should report the exact reason why the compile
failed.  Please reply to the list with the exact command and its
output.

OpenLDAP depends upon ANSI C application...  you're mileage
may vary if you are attempting to build OpenLDAP with a C++
compiler.

If you set CC=c++ or equiv, don't do that!
