[Samba] error compiling samba 3.0.7 with ldap support

[Bruce Marriner]

  Alright so I download strace and compiled it :).  The output from it 
however is of little help to me.  It shows that configure is looking for 
ldap.h but
does not seem to say where configure is looking.  I have added the 
OpenLDAP lib folder to my ld.so.conf file and ran ldconfig and that
did not help any either.  This is a Redhat 9.0 linux box.
