Call to ldap_connect() returns always false

Hi, I ran into a rather strange problem with ldap_connect(). When I take the ldap example in the php manual and run it with a php cgi version it works without problems. If I take apache with php compiled in, the ldap_connect() call always returns false. I tried two different ldap servers which are known to work. In both cases ldap_connect() fails. The system I use is linux 2.2.14 (Intel) and apache 1.3.14. Do the same on Linux PPC works. Next thing I did, was modifying ext/ldap/ldap.c in order to print errno right after ldap_open(). The error number is in any case 25 which doesn't help me at all. Then I fired up gdb, set a breakpoint right before ldap_open() in php_if_ldap_connect() and run httpd with -X -f <conf.file>. Steping into ldap_open() didn't work, though openldap was compiled with --enable-debug. BTW, listing the openldap file in which ldap_open() is defined works. Setting a breakpoint in ldap_open() didn't have any effect which supports my theory that ldap_open() isn't called for some mystical reason. Another strange think is, that apache compiled ok even without giving -lldap -llber -L<path to openldap>/lib. ldd ./httpd doesn't list the ldap shared library. Doint 'nm httpd|grep ldap' list a number of undefined symbols which are defined in libldap. How can that be? I have seen similar problems on one of the php mailing list, but no answer :-( Could somebody please help. This drives me crazy.
