I just installed and tried it and got the same thing. I read the docs and
found that you need to subclass Base to get a mapping. e.g.

class User < ActiveLdap::Base
ldap_mapping
end

And the config is different. So here is what I got so far:

require 'active_ldap'

ActiveLdap::Base.setup_connection(
:host => "hostname",
:bind_dn => "username",
:password => "passwords",
:base => "DC=your,DC=ldap,DC=base"
)

class User < ActiveLdap::Base
ldap_mapping
end

That gets me the connection at least.

You need to define your Group class:
class Group < ActiveLdap::Base
ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
:classes => ['posixGroup']
# Inspired by ActiveRecord, this tells ActiveLDAP that the
# LDAP entry has a attribute which contains one or more of
# some class |:class_name| where the attributes name is
# |:local_key|. This means that it will call
# :class_name.new(value_of(:local_key)) to create the objects.
has_many :members, :class_name => "User", :wrap => "memberUid"
has_many :primary_members, :class_name => 'User',
:foreign_key => 'gidNumber',
:primary_key => 'gidNumber'
end # Group

# from http://code.google.com/p/ruby-activeldap/source/browse/trunk/examples/objects/group.rb

I confused the lines:

> all_users = Group.find(:all, '*')
> puts all_users

Did you want to write like the following?
all_groups = Group.all
puts all_groups
