[Samba] Fedora and Samba

Hi.  I am trying to get Samba 3.0.4, from tarball, working with Fedora Core
1.  The problem is that I can't get LDAP authentication with either ssl or
start_tls support.

I tried compiling ldap on a plain install of fedora.  I also tried compiling
it after installing openssl-0.9.7d and openldap 2.2.11 clients and libraries
from tarball.  My ldap configuration of samba is as follows:

        idmap backend           = ldapsam_compat:ldap://ldap.domain.tld
        passdb backend          = ldapsam_compat:ldap://ldap.domain.tld
        ldap admin dn           = cn=Directory
Administrator,ou=Maintenance,o=domain
        ldap delete dn          = no
        ldap port               = 389
        ldap server             = ldap.domain.tld
        ldap ssl                = start_tls
        ldap suffix             = o=domain

        ldap user suffix        = ou=People
        ldap group suffix       = ou=Group
        ldap machine suffix     = ou=Workstations,ou=People

I installed samba 3.0.4, from tarball, on a redhat linux 8.0 box and tls and
ssl support works just fine.

Is there something that I need to do to get ssl/tls support enabled.  What
am I doing wrong?

On the subject of compiling.  Is there a way to statically build the samba
package and binary programs?  Can someone refer me to a compiling unix
programs for dummies?

Thanks in advance.
