There are still some issues with building Fedora Directory server from
source. Red Hat has committed the project to open source and has
released it with a GPL license but getting it to build is obviously a
problem. If you are running CentOS, there is no reason why you can't
install the binaries that are already built...you can download the
binaries here...

I haven't had any issues with using Fedora Directory server and there is
a mail list that supports Fedora Directory server here...
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
You should know that CentOS comes with (a fairly outdated) version of
OpenLDAP which can be installed simply with the command...
# yum install openldap-server
Administration Guide for above is here
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/
If you want to install current OpenLDAP, you will have to install from
source - see this...
