Yeah, that would work for me.  I figured out that I need to do the
following before running the install script:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-* /var/lock/dirsrv/* /etc/dirsrv/slapd-*
sudo pkill -U dirsrv

The only part that was missing was the chown of /var/run/dirsrv.

I guess we should also try to clean up the configurations when the
script doesn't run to completion...

Thanks,
Jon
