When I click on Add in the address-book component in kcontrol, all I get is 
either 'file' or 'dir'. If I choose one, in 'resource settings', there's 
'vcard', 'binary' and 'kde cvs accounts', but no ldap. (If you want, I'll 
create a screenshot)

I already recompiled kdebase and kdepim, just to make sure i have ldap support 
compiled in.

kinfocenter says that the ldap-ioslave is installed and as said, i can do 
ldap-lookups in the address-book.

Also, if there really was an ldap-choice in the kcontrol->kab department, why 
is there another way to add an ldap-server in the address-book? I don't quite 
understand that.

I use gentoo. Is it possible the ebuild decided to NOT install some parts of 
kde that are needed for this kind of ldap-support? How could I check that?

thanks,
