It is working for me (Zope 2.6.0b1 (binary release, python
2.1, linux2-x86), python 2.1.3, linux2).

Can you do that with python as well? Does an 'import ldap'
work when you use the python your Zope runs with?

However, I had to use python-ldap-2.0.0pre03-1.i386.rpm
because I am using python 2.1.3.

If all else fails: perhaps this one helps:
