[Dovecot] trouble to start dovecot when ldap enabled

[jean-Noël Chardron]

Hello

I need help

on a fedora release 11 (Leonidas) when I start the dovecot process I get 
an error  :

Jun 17 10:15:24 aragon dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.rc3 starting up (core dumps 
disabled)
Jun 17 10:15:24 aragon dovecot: Fatal: auth(default): Support not 
compiled in for passdb driver 'ldap'
Jun 17 10:15:24 aragon dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - 
shutting down

I installed :
