How do I install python-ldap on ActivePython 2.6?

Question

I'm using ActivePython to run OSQA (To create a site just like this one!)

One thing we really need is LDAP authentication, which was provided via a patch. However, I need ldap installed on this version of python and when I try easy_install or pip it fails to install python-ldap

Is there an easy way to install python-ldap on ActivePython 2.6?

Installing python-ldap via. easy_install results in an error, so one must download the source After extracting the file change your setup.cfg to replace the following three lines:

libs = ldap_r lber sasl2 ssl crypto  
library_dirs = /usr/local/openldap-2.3/lib  
include_dirs = /usr/local/openldap-2.3/include /usr/include/sasl

with the next three lines:

libs = ldap lber sasl2 ssl crypto  
library_dirs = /usr/local/lib  
include_dirs = /usr/local/include /usr/include/sasl

Then run

ActivePython setup.py build
sudo ActivePython setup.py install

And your done.
