They were installed for me. Did you modify the script generated by jhalfs?
This is a case where jhalfs does not do a good job, because there is first the
client installation, then the server one. You should remove the client
installation instructions from the generated script.

Not sure where this come from: normally, if /etc/openldap/slapd.{conf,ldif} do
not exist already, they are installed.

Book instructions usually do not take debugging into account. But they are
only advises, and can be modified to suit one's needs. It's always a good idea
to review "./configure --help"...
