openldap and cyrus

[Mark <papajohns@giddieup.net>]

i tried recompiling openldap with cyrus and im getting the usual cyrus cant be located message... any help would be appreciated...
i have included the different outputs.

./configure --prefix=/opt/openldap/2.1.25 --sysconfdir=/etc/depot/openldap --localstatedir=/var/depot/openldap --enable-cleartext --enable-crypt --enable-lmpasswd --enable-bdb --enable-ldap --enable-spasswd --with-tls --with-threads --enable-ldbm --with-cyrus-sasl --with-tls --enable-password



config.log:

sasl_client_init()

environment variables:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/depot/openssl/0.96h/include -I/opt/berkeley-db/current/include -I/opt/cyrus-sasl/current/include/sasl

i tried puting a LIBS="-lcrypto -lssl -lsasl2"  variable..but whenever i set that, then it fails even earlier with a
