Hi Lars,

I'm using too Slackware (with -current tree updates) but the better way 
(for me and for other slackers) is to use SlackBuild instead 
checkinstall, specially for complexes packages.

 From openldap-client.SlackBuild:

./configure \
   --prefix=/usr \
   --localstatedir=/var/lib \
   --sysconfdir=/etc \
   --with-cyrus-sasl \
   --with-tls \
   --with-readline \
   --with-threads \
   --enable-debug \
   --enable-syslog \
   --enable-dynamic \
   --enable-local \
   --enable-proctitle \
   --disable-ipv6 \
   --disable-static \
   --enable-shared \
   --disable-slapd \
   --disable-slurpd

make depend
make -j3
make test
make install DESTDIR=$PKG

- cut -

Hint: On 04/08/2006 at 06:02:00 PM was released OpenLDAP 2.3.21. The 
list of changes is available at 
http://www.openldap.org/software/release/changes.html

Have you tried with the latest version of KDE? You can modify the
official SlackBuild (kdebase.SlackBuild) with --with-ldap directive in 
the configure, but i think you don't need this.

See http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-current/source/kde/kdebase/ 
for more informations.

With the official packages for Slackware 
(http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackware-current/slackware/kde/) I have a 
file called kio_ldap.so:

giangy at lab:~$ spi -s kio_ldap
Match found in package: kdebase-3.5.2-i486-1
SECTION: slackware
STATUS: INSTALLED
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kio_ldap.so
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kio_ldap.la

Try with official precompiled packages + openldap-client (2.3.20 version 
from slackware -current tree or 2.3.21, the latest version) :-).
