Re: AIX build fails with missing symbol .krb5_c_make_random_key

Hi Ken!
   No worries, but thank you for your pointers so far!

   It is interesting that krb5-config --libs does indeed show k5crypto:

$ krb5-config --libs
-L/opt/freeware/lib64 -Wl,-blibpath:/opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib -L/opt/freeware/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib -Wl,-brtl -lpthreads -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err


It would appear that the output from that is not being used by OpenAFS though, because in the original error I also didn't see the -blibpath... arguments nor references to /opt/freeware/lib64.

Thanks!

-Ben

I can't speak for that; I lack the energy at this time to go delving
into the configure script for OpenAFS.  The traditional way that Kerberos
options are detected by autoconf (as Benjamin Kaduk alluded to) is
you give it a path to a krb5-config script which will tell you the
right compile and link-time options to build a Kerberos program.
