OK, this worked!

    export LDFLAGS="-llber"
    %configure <options>

I am still puzzled why in my case the above "export" statement was 
needed, but anyway...

And, if we want to link against the custom ldap libraries:

CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -I/usr/local/openldap/include"; export CXXFLAGS
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L/usr/local/openldap/lib64 -lldap -llber"; export 
LDFLAGS
%configure <options>

The above worked as well and they are the very settings I had first 
tried and posted here, BUT I had not added the "export" statement!

So, things look OK now. Thank you all for your kind assistance!

Just one more question: Why in the spec file of pdns-3.1 EPEL SRPM we 
also set:

    export CPPFLAGS="-DLDAP_DEPRECATED %{optflags}"

...??

What does "-DLDAP_DEPRECATED" signify?

Thanks,
Nick
