There are two different procedures here.  When building completely from
scratch from source, you do not have the admin server, console, setup,
etc.  Those components are still proprietary and have not yet been open
sourced (we are working on it).  So if you do a "pure" open source
build
from scratch, you don''t get console, admin server, etc.

What we recommend is to first download and install the binary Fedora DS
package.  This does contain admin server, console, etc., and will create
those scripts like start-admin at install time.  Then, if you want to
work on the source code, check it out and build it, then just replace
ns-slapd, libslapd.so, and any other files you''d like to test with your
changes with the versions you build from source.
