Hey,

I had the same problem with OpenLDAP and Postgres. The error is in the 
tests the configure script does (and how it reports the errors to the 
user). In my case the script didn't find the postgres libraries even 
though the error message indicates that LDAP libraries are missing.

I circumvented the problem by manually editing /etc/ld.so.conf (I use 
Linux as my server platform) and inserted the library path there.

Hope this helps.
