Hmmm... Not one comment about this issue. Doesn't surprise me though. Not very many folks probably implement Kerberos. Fooling around with the MIT Kerberos package this evening it turns out there is a switch to use the locally installed copy of the libcom_err library. Unfortunately, MIT looks for the header in /usr/include instead of where it is installed /usr/include/etc and the make command bombs out. I will be looking into creating a patch to fix this. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 20:42:00 up 120 days, 20:15, 2 users, load average: 0.62, 0.36, 0.31 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
