All dependent files will cover the majority of the Linux operating system, not much point having an LDAP server with no kernel to run it with etc... You need the dependencies that you don't have installed already, right? Well we don't know what those are as we don't know what you already have installed. You aren't going to get them in one place, that's not the way RPM packaging works.

Welcome to LQ.
Nobody can provide anything for an unknown Linux.
Please tell which, and why you cannot use the
Package Manager. # 'yum deplist openldap' will
show this on RedhatEL5, CentOS5, Scientific SL5x :
I am using "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3". I tried with openldap-2.4.8-3.fc9.i386.rpm from "http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=openldap" and tried to get other required rpms, but I could not get success on installing all required files, the list seems keep on growing whenever I install supporting rpms.
My system is not registered with RHN, so not able to get yum deplist.
Currently it shows # yum info openldap
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

hope slapd should run for ldap server, but I could not find any such process running.
Please let me know how to proceed from here, do I need to install any or anything need to start.
you're running el5 but trying to install an obsolete fc9 package? Good luck with that, let me know when you give up. You already have ALL the required rpm's on your installation media, and available through yum to install instantly.
In addition to acid_kewpie's advice, I'd add make up your mind whether you are going to pay for a RH subscription and use their updates/support, or replace it with the Centos 5.3 equivalent, so your repo files will automatically go to Centos for updates.
