The code is almost identical; krb5's version just has a lot of extra support for Mac's, PC's, etc. Since the code is already there, it seems a bit wasteful to compile it again. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Check to see if system already has libcom_err in standard library directories (/usr/lib, /usr/local/lib). If so, don't compile libcom_err again. Should do the same for libdb if the system one is found to be version 2. Perhaps allow an override, ie: --with-krb5-libcom_err, --with-krb5-libdb. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
