Rather than compiling your own modules from source and trying to insert them into a running system compiled from other source (which is generally a Bad Thing) you could try the steps below. >> If you don't have the "minimal" use flag set, back-ldap should be there, >> see the 2.3.35-r1 ebuild for details.

However a novice could achieve it by building from source: * Remove your distributions copy of OpenLDAP (emerge --unmerge openldap) * Build the entire thing from source (see http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/quickstart.html) Also, if you wish to use 2.3.35 (with the back-ldap modules) on Gentoo, you may need to unmask the package (see http://packages.gentoo.org/packages/?category=net-nds;name=openldap and http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked).
