Location of files won't be exactly like they have them... it not a "word
for word" translation.
IOW, you start here:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/slapdconf2.html
Files are not located in /usr/local/etc/openldap/, but are in /etc/ldap.
/usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf is actually /etc/ldap/slapd.conf.
So, in other words, remove the "/usr/local" from the front of the
instructions.
Things that are "supposed to be located" in /usr/local/var will be
located under /var/lib/slapd. In fact /etc/ldap/slapd.conf has the
following directive:
# Where the database file are physically stored for database #1
directory "/var/lib/ldap"
In it. So, things aren't as missing as you thought.
The binaries for all the OpenLDAP stuff will be in /usr/bin
and /usr/sbin (some may even be in /bin or /sbin, depending on thier
actual function, but typically not). Any libraries need for OpenLDAP
will be in /usr/lib/ldap.
All of these changes are due to the File Hierarchy System (to see the
directive do "man hier") as it is applied to Most Distributions. Yes
while confusing, it does allow for making a cohesive system. Where as
using the "/usr/local" directives keep most everything in
"/usr/local/openldap" making a nice little container for everything, it
does make it tougher to make a "good, stable, integrated and
maintainable" system of it.
Also, to figure out exactly "what" was installed and where they are use
the following, in a gnome-terminal:
dpkg -L slapd | less
and for the ldap-utils do:
dpkg -L ldap-utils
This will tell you exactly where things are.
