Can't compile postgresql with kerberos support

Hi, i used slackbuilds.

I built kerberos, and added --with-krb5 to the postgresql build.

It failed with this error :
configure: error: could not find function 'krb5_sendauth' required for Kerberos 5

Googled around, some people have this problem, but no answer...

This begs the question:

Which kerberos did you install, and how did you go about it?

Just for the heck of it I downloaded and installed krb5-1.8.3
on my Slackware64 machine, and then compiled postgresql-8.4.5
and 9.0.2 against it w/o any problems.

Cheers,
Tink

Hi
check first that you have all dependencies installed.
I checked and installed the krb5-devel package and got rid of your error.
This is the package I have installed:
krb5-workstation
krb5-libs
pam_krb5
krb5-auth-dialog
krb5-devel
Then Try this
root@localhost postgresql-7.4.28]# ./configure --with-krb5 --with-includes=/usr/include/et

Good Luck!

Sorry for being unclear on this point!
No they are part of centos, but I compiled from source trying to reproduce your error and it seems like the flag:

PHP Code:




 --with-includes=/usr/include/et

is the flag to add to get rid of error below:
You have to check for similar package for slackware, and especially the develeopment packages.

PHP Code:




./configure --with-krb5 
checking krb5.h presence... yes 
checking for krb5.h... yes 
checking com_err.h usability... no 
checking com_err.h presence... no 
checking for com_err.h... no 
configure: error: header file <com_err.h> is required for Kerberos 5

If the header is somewhere else try:

PHP Code:




find / -name com.err.h and change  --with-includes=/path_to_your_headers

and this packages should also include getting rid of your error:

PHP Code:




configure: error: could not find function 'krb5_sendauth' required for Kerberos 5

Hope this helps
