Why do you try to build with 2.2.13 headers, although you already
installed 2.3.38?

I had similar problems when building python-ldap on Mac OSX, where
openldap 2.2.x is installed by default. Simply "stealing" the 2.3
headers from a Linux system did the trick there.

Thus, point include_dirs to the location of your 2.3 headers (presumably
/usr/local/include, if you installed from source) and everything should
work like a charm.
