The tutorial(s) a bit old. The Squid-3.2 release notes explain it:
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.2/RELEASENOTES.html#ss2.6>

The new name for the same helper in your Squid version is ext_ldapgroup_acl

The "3" in the "squid3" paths are an artifact of the author having used
a Debian based OS. Your OS may have different paths.
