Exactly.

Yes, so far they have a good interaction. Indeed, I use zebra just to 
provide the routing information for ldp_linux so that I do not need to 
explicitly add the routes in each routers I have. Since I have some routers 
in my network, it is really inconvenient if I have to add manually the 
routes by route commands.
So according to your experiences, ldp_zebra is not working yet ?
