  Thanks Matthew.
      Maybe I should be taking the redhat src rpm apart?

If I just download the release and configure/compile it then configure
it using  /usr/lib/evolution-openldap (and also I had to
add  /usr/include/nspr4) then it does not find  ldap_open or ntlm_bind. 
checking for ldap_open in -lldap... no
checking for ldap_ntlm_bind... no

The reason is that the compilation test command does not pull in various
libraries:

configure:28487: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lldap
-L/usr/lib/evolution-openldap/lib /usr/lib/evolution-openldap/lib/liblber.a -lresolv -lnsl  >&5

If I add " -lssl -lcrypto  -lsasl2" to the end of the configure line
then configure is happy. But when I come to compile evolution-exchange I
hit the same problem again.
     Does that sound familiar?
     Thanks,
          Bill
