Just for information, Ubuntu does provide a 2.4.18 package, at least in 
their latest release. You would for sure be much better off with that, 
than 2.4.9 which does contain a fair number of bugs now fixed 
(especially in syncrepl).

See http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/slapd.

Regarding building or not building your own packages, there is an 
interesting discussion on the subject here:
