Did you really want to do a SASL authentication? If not, see ldapsearch(1) for information about how to disable use of SASL (the default). Otherwise, I suggest you, at least initially, use the -Y option to specify the desired SASL mechanism.

i get a list of stuff and the bottom of it i get:

ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (-6) additional info: SASL (-4): no mechanism avvailable

This error is discussed here in the FAQ at: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=771

what does the -6 and the -4 stands for?, what am i missing?

ldapsearch(1) doesn't have -4 and -6 flags, so they stand for argument error I guess. See ldapsearch(1).
