I found a resolution. Using the information found at http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cg...eley&file=1095 I made a couple changes to accomodate my environment.
--- My script ---

env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib -R/usr/local/ssl/lib" \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib" \
./configure

--end--

Oh, and technically I'm using Mandriva Linux, not Mandrake.
