Well, you NEEDS the ldap libraries both in the server and the client! In
general, the libraries are in /usr/include or /usr/local/include dirs. I
suggest first to search for the ldap.h library in your system ( "find /
-name ldap.h" ). What´s your client system? Linux? Solaris?

Well, the libraries are necessary. But I ever find it in the systems (Linux
and Solaris). Then, I think that isn´t necessary to install OpenLdap in the
clients.
