Yes, I see libldap.so.2 listed in the ldd output.  I notice in the 
documentation that certain LDAP configuration options are only 
recognized if the --with-ldapsam is used at compile time.  Is there 
someplace were they list what options are used to compile the binary? 
Doesn't seem to make sense to have some LDAP options included in the 
samba build, but others (the important ones like ldap server) needing a 
compile switch but that appears to be the way it's setup (according to 
the manpages anyway).
