This usually means that no shared library with the name "libldap*.so" 
is  in your library search path.
Check your /etc/ld.so.sonf (and maybe ld.so.conf.d/*) for the search 
path of your linker and verify that you have the required LDAP shared 
library in place. If not, you need to install that first - either from 
your distribution tree or you compile e.g. OpenLDAP by hand.
