Unfortunately, the mozldap package configure doesn't work like regular 
autotool configure does - it doesn't honor --prefix, and make install 
doesn't work, neither does make DESTDIR=/path install.  You have to 
install all of the files manually.  If you have the srpm, take a look a 
the spec file, in the %install section.  You'll see just what it does.

We might want to take this discussion off of the fedora-ds list and on 
to the dev-tech-ldap at lists.mozilla.org list.  We also might want to 
update wiki.mozilla.org with this information about building on BSD.
