I am assuming that there is a typo there and points 1 and 2 should
really be talking about /var/lib/ldap as the directory.
Given the slapd.conf file you included below, there should have been
both the dn2id.gdbm and cn.gdbm files in that directory.
You are having an error doing the ldapadd. I believe the admin guide
states that you need to use slapadd to get the very root of your
database installed. So, try the following:
1) normalize the dn's in your ldif file (that is, remove the embedded
spaces)
2) service ldap stop (or just kill off all slapd processes)
3) slapadd -f ldap00.ldif
4) chown -R ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap
5) start slapd (either as you did or "service ldap start")
6) do the ldapsearch

Correct, this is (usually) just complaining that TCP6 isn't configured
on your system. You can completely eliminate this error message by
building openldap without tcp6 support.

Absolutely NOT! /etc/ldap.conf is used by the nss-ldap package and
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf is used by the openldap client programs.
