No, you do not.

That's what I meant and that was my fault.  I should have had
Oscar do that when I was first merging his LDAP support.  I only
tested to see if the build broke with or without LDAP, I've never
been in a working LDAP environment.

As I recall, it's been default for quite awhile for Linux distros
to build LDAP support into XEmacs.  I'll check tomorrow when
I'm back at work.

The summary you posted should show a line regarding LDAP.
Make sure you installed all the run-time and devel libraries and
I would imagine you'll have some success.
