Of course, I only thought of this just now:

$ strings /usr/bin/sylpheed | grep -i ldap  
LDAP Server
ldap_list
LDAP
No LDAP entries found for search criteria
Error in LDAP search criteria
Timeout performing LDAP operation
Error searching LDAP database
Error binding to LDAP server
Error initializing LDAP
Error connecting to LDAP server

And I have openldap-2.0.7-14 installed. Perhaps that's too old?
openldap-2.0.14 needs a newer openssl and libcrypto, and libcrypto is
required by many things. True, the newer one *should* be backward
compatible, I suppose, but I hate to force an RPM into place. I don't see
any ldap stuff in the address book. And it is the LDIF import I'm most
interested in -- hoping to get away from Netscape, as it's been acting
more strangely over time, but moving my address book over is a big thing.

Perhaps I'll grap openldap-devel-2.0.7 and see if it builds OK. Although
why configure would require lower library versions than the RPM, well,
that's a real shot in the dark.

Thanks Match.
