Configure openldap CentOS 6.5 PHP --with-ldap failing

Question

I am using and trying to configure the below things:

CentOS 6.5 Apache 2.4 PHP 5.6 --with-ldap

Found an error ldap not found.

yum list installed | grep openldap

shows openldap installed:

openldap.x86_64                     2.4.40-16.el6                       @base

Answer 1

Why trying to build from sources, when binary packages exists ?

See PHP Configuration Tips, initially written for CentOS 7 but suitable for CentOS 6 using the httpd24 collection.

See section 2 about Running a recent PHP version.

The ldap extension is available in the repository.
