Well, the config.m4 file is still a mess. Unfortenately there is no libkadm55-dev debian package yet. So you have to have the krb5 sources at hand and change config.m4 accordingly. To successfully compile this extension under Debian you need the following Kerberos packages: libkrb5 libkrb5-dev libkadm55 The missing of libkadm55-dev has already been reported to the libkadm55 maintainer: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=191616 If there are any questions or problems, feel free to contact me: Holger Burbach <holger.burbach@gonicus.de>
