Compiling v7.1.3 w/OpenSSL and Krb5 support...

Hello,

I am trying to compile PostgreSQL v7.1.3 w/ OpenSSL and Krb5 support on a
True64 (v5.0) AlphaServer. When configuring w/

'./configure --with-openssl'

worked fine, configuring w/

'./configure --with-openssl --with-krb5=/usr/local/krb5'

Caused this:

-=-
[...]
checking for com_err in -lcom_err... yes
checking for krb5_encrypt in -lcrypto... no
checking for krb5_encrypt in -lk5crypto... yes
checking for krb5_sendauth in -lkrb5... yes
checking for CRYPTO_new_ex_data in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: library 'crypto' is required for OpenSSL
-=-

Now if I just configure with OpenSSL, that check for CRYPTO_new_ex_data
is successful. Is there a known bug in trying to compile with both
OpenSSL and Krb5?

If your kerberos package has a libcrypto - yes. With this problem
solved, it works fine - it's compiled that way for Red Hat Linux
(where krb5's crypto library is called "libk5crypto")

No known bug, but I wonder whether anyone's tried it before. Perhaps
there's some conflict between the two sets of libraries (a duplicate
global symbol, for example). Would you dig into the configure log
and see what's going on?

Despite the fact that this box had long ago upgraded to Krb5 1.2.x, it
still had some of the old libcrypto files. :( Removing those, and
recompiling fixed it.

Thanks for the reminder!
