  The message really means that SASL was not found when rlm_ldap was built.  It doesn't really matter if libldap provides a ldap_sasl_interactive_bind function, as it's hard for rlm_ldap to determine that at run-time.

  rlm_ldap has to be built with SASL support.  See the output of configure as to why it's not building with SASL support.
