It would help if you also included the lines from the log that holds the
actual compiler, preprocessor or linker error. Anyway, I have been
tinkering around with LDAP support in Samba 2.2.2 over the last few days,
and have gotten similar failures due to the fact that the LDAP support
relies on the OpenLDAP libraries which in turn depends on the OpenLDAP
libraries if you have TLS/SSL support in OpenLDAP. The latter aren't
explicitly linked into OpenLDAP which means that whoever wants to link
with OpenLDAP also needs to link with OpenSSL.

Check the log file. If there is a bunch of symbol referencing errors that
look like SSL stuff you need to add 'LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto"' to your
configure command and possibly also the OpenSSL library/include locations
to LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS.
