Hmm. libkrb5 is in /usr/lib -- with all the rest of the libs -- not
somewhere special.
I also have /usr/lib/libcom_err.a too, and it seems to have com_err.o also.
Putting in an explicit
./configure --with-openssl --with-krb5
--with-includes=/usr/include/kerberosV
--with-libs=/usr/lib
(sorry for the word wrap) doesn't help.
The "standard" PostgreSQL port that OpenBSD wants to make is (alas) 8.1.8.
-Thanks, Jim
