OK, I got past this problem by simply configuring all overlays (required installing application that provided sql.h library):

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-backends --enable-overlays

Started slapd with these warnings:

...

Unable to actually add or search because of this error (getting this when trying to add the first entry "Manager"):

What the heck does this mean and what do I do about it?

Thanks!

Unpacked.

Ran this because I want the relay back end enabled and want all the executables installed in /usr directory tree. I also want slapd.conf to be in /etc:

../configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-relay=yes --enable-rewrite

make depend
make

I edited my slapd.conf for this (modified to my server):

database        relay
suffix          "dc=virtual,dc=naming,dc=context"
relay           "dc=real,dc=naming,dc=context" massage

I run: /usr/libexec/slapd -d 1

I get this error:

overlay "rwm" not found
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 133: unable to install rwm overlay in "relay <dn> [massage]" line
slapd destroy: freeing system resources.
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

Looks like I'm getting much closer. Thanks so much for all the help!
