As Aaron wrote, no. If you do install Buchan's rpms it's important to 
know that he separates it from Red Hat's by tacking '2.3' on to the end 
of everything, including the man pages. So slapd is called slapd2.3, 
ldapsearch is called ldapsearch2.3, /usr/bin/slapd_db_recover2.3, etc.

Even the libraries (which are in the normal place) have different 
sonames, e.g. /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.3.so.0, /usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0 
etc. Anything you later build using OL libraries will find these during 
the build, or it will find the Red Hat libraries if you still have them.
