You probably aren't loading core.schema first.

organizationalUnit is STRUCTURAL; you can't make AUXILIARY a class derived from a STRUCTURAL one.

There's no reason to derive an AUXILIARY from a STRUCTURAL anyway. Derive your AUXILIARY from top, or make it STRUCTURAL and derive from a STRUCTURAL.

Hello Buchan,
Thanks for the reply.
1) Second choice of making new objectClass STRUCTURAL is fine for me , but will there be any restrictions for new STRUCTURAL object classes to be created from any parent (for instance, organizationalUnit)
And from this, new STRUCTURAL class, if I derive one more hierarchy down , will there be any restrictions for that grand child object class.
2) Can I know why is that restriction that AUXILIARY cannot be derived from STRUCTURAL?
Thanks in advance,
Arunachalam.

Only that they be STRUCTURAL.

None beyond what apply to all object classes. Proprietary/custom schema is treated no differently than standard schema.
- Can I know why is that restriction that AUXILIARY cannot be derived
from STRUCTURAL?
Because it makes no sense. Look-up the meanings of AUXILIARY and STRUCTURAL.

See RFC 4512 "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): Directory Information Models".
Citing from section 2.4.3:
"Auxiliary object classes cannot subclass structural object classes."
