There are two different procedures here.  When building completely from 
scratch from source, you do not have the admin server, console, setup, 
etc.  Those components are still proprietary and have not yet been open 
sourced (we are working on it).  So if you do a "pure" open source build 
from scratch, you don't get console, admin server, etc.

What we recommend is to first download and install the binary Fedora DS 
package.  This does contain admin server, console, etc., and will create 
those scripts like start-admin at install time.  Then, if you want to 
work on the source code, check it out and build it, then just replace 
ns-slapd, libslapd.so, and any other files you'd like to test with your 
changes with the versions you build from source.
