Did you install the required OpenLDAP 2 libs before? If yes, did 
you make sure that they don't conflict with Netscape/iPlanet LDAP 
libs probably shipped with Solaris? Check which libldap is really 
used.

I'd suggest that you build OpenLDAP 2.0.x with 
--prefix=/usr/local/openldap2 and modify setup.cfg accordingly.

library_dirs = /usr/local/openldap2/lib
include_dirs = /usr/local/openldap2/include

I guess you're using Sun's C compiler. Right? Hmm, anyone here 
having experience with that?

Yes, this message is caused by a limitation of DistUtils.
