While the 2.3 Admin Guide is certainly the best available document, it's 
important to note that it *is* for OpenLDAP 2.3, not OpenLDAP 2.2. Since 
you have recommended they download OpenLDAP 2.2.26, you should point 
them at the OpenLDAP 2.2 Admin Guide instead. 
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/

And of course, the *easiest* way to get a working installation is to 
download a CDS build from www.symas.com, as it has all the required 
libraries correctly integrated already. Using our builds guarantees that 
you're using software that is known to work, which lets you focus on 
your own specific data configuration and not worry about whether you 
specified the right libraries and flags to configure and build the code.
