I'm guessing you're creating an ldap directory in your pine source and 
making symlinks therein to the system's ldap libs?

In any case, the problem is you're linking against an ldap that depends on 
a separate sasl, but the pine build doesn't know it also has to link 
against a separate sasl, it thinks the libldap it builds against is 
self-contained.

If you're building the ldap lib you use, try adding the following to your 
build invocation:

'LDAPLIBS=../ldap/libraries/libldap.a ../ldap/libraries/liblber.a \
<path to libsasl2.a>'

You might havge to add libldap's other dependancies the same way.

If my guess is correct and you're trying to build with the system's 
libldap, then not including an ldap directory in the pine source and 
appending LDAPLIBS=-lldap LDAPCFLAGS=-DENABLE_LDAP should work fine.

You can also try the lrh target which is similar to slx, but has some 
default paths set to where RedHat puts (or used to put) things. This 
should (in theory) autodetect your ldap libs.
