Compiling PHP 5.24 with LDAP support

I'm having a bit of trouble in CentOS 5 in compiling php-5.2.4 from source with a few extra options, but the one that keeps crapping out on me is --with-ldap, saying it can't find ldap.h ... I understand this needs to be in /usr/includes, but it's not there. I tried compiling OpenLDAP, but it complains about not having BerkelyDB. Do I really need to install this just to compile OpenLDAP, or is there some kind of major issue I'm missing here?

Any help is appreciated.

I have gotten this to work under Ubuntu 7.06, but no such luck with Centos.

Sorry, this is not directly answering your question but why are you trying to compile PHP on CentOS? What is wrong with yum install php?

Code:

---

[root@insomnia ~]# yum info php
Name  : php
Arch  : i386
Version: 5.1.6
Release: 15.el5
Size  : 3.1 M
Repo  : installed
Summary: The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
