Well, I simply don't know whether Thorsten's egg file is really binary 
compatible with your system. That's why I always recommend to build from 
source when strange issues arise.

Ok. Just for the records: What kind of LDAP server product is this? Is 
LDAPv3 connect definitely not possible?

Yes, ignore it.

No. I'd rather recommend to really remove the stuff from the formerly 
installed egg file since that's what the path above look like. Closely 
examine your /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages and rm everything which 
looks like the egg files and these python-ldap files:
_ldap.so
ldap/
ldif.py*
dsml.py*
ldapurl.py*

Then go into the directory where you built the source distribution and 
invoke as root:

python setup.py install

??? Did you install OpenLDAP 2.3.39 in a different prefix?
Beware you have to adjust parameters library_dirs and include_dirs in 
setup.cfg then when building python-ldap from source.

Ciao, Michael.
