Tom, I wasn't able to get pgadmin4 working with the symlinks, but I'm not very knowledgeable about libraries.
But that's not a problem. I appreciate everyone diagnosing the issue. I'll reach out the pgsql-admin forum to see if there's a simple workaround or if a GSSAPI-enabled pgadmin4 client is in the pipeline. If not, I have other GUI or CLI programs I can use.
