Yeah, all SDKs are installed. Quick Darwin lesson. Apple often
bundles libraries into frameworks, which are just directories with a
standard structure that contain the dynamic library, headers and any
support files. In this case the library is the file called LDAP. You
can link to the LDAP framework using gcc -framework LDAP. But since
must unixy programs don't know about frameworks, Apple will also put
symlinks to the library file in /usr/lib and give it a .dylib
extension. So you can also link to LDAP by using gcc -lldap and the
linker will follow the /usr/lib/libldap.dylib symlink to the framework.

So curl needs to pass either /System/Library/Frameworks/
LDAP.framework/Versions/A/LDAP (the actual library) or simply
libldap.dylib to dlopen. If no "/" appears in the path, dlopen will
automatically search /usr/lib. You can alternatively link directly
with the standard -lldap.
