Compile with erlc. You need ejabberd include files.

To compile this module you need the Erlang compiler and the ejabberd header files (included in the source package). You don't need to compile ejabberd (but you can to get 3 points of experience ;)

Download, compile and install:

$ wget http://realloc.spb.ru/files/ejabberd/mod_shared_roster_ldap.erl
$ erlc -I ../ejabberd-2.0.0/src/ mod_shared_roster_ldap.erl
./mod_shared_roster_ldap.erl:19: Warning: behaviour gen_mod undefined
./mod_shared_roster_ldap.erl:289: Warning: variable 'User' is unused
$ sudo cp mod_shared_roster_ldap.beam /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin/

Notice that the compilation reports warnings, not errors. The paths in your system may vary.

Now configure ejabberd in /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg
To enable the module and configure some of its options, add it in the 'modules' section, like all the other modules:

{modules, [
  {mod_shared_roster_ldap,
   [{ldap_base, ""},
    {ldap_groupattr, "cn"},
    {ldap_groupdesc, "cn"},
    {ldap_memberattr, "uniqueMember"},
    {ldap_memberattr_format, "uid=%u*"},
    {ldap_filter, "(uniqueMember=*)}
   ]
  },
  ...
]}.

Take care with the file syntax. I can't help with the particular module options because I never used it. There are some comments in the mod_shared_roster_ldap page
