I am trying to build PostgreSQL 8.2.3 on OpenBSD 4.0. When I give the
command

./configure -v --with-openssl --with-krb5

I get:

checking for library containing com_err... no
configure: error: could not find function 'com_err' required for
Kerberos 5

Perhaps you need a --with-libs switch too?  Usually, if the package
didn't put its include files right in /usr/include, it likely didn't
put the libraries right in /usr/lib either.

Hmm. libkrb5 is in /usr/lib -- with all the rest of the libs -- not somewhere special.

I also have /usr/lib/libcom_err.a too, and it seems to have com_err.o also. Putting in an explicit

./configure --with-openssl --with-krb5 --with-includes=/usr/include/kerberosV
--with-libs=/usr/lib

(sorry for the word wrap) doesn't help.

The "standard" PostgreSQL port that OpenBSD wants to make is (alas) 8.1.8.

-Thanks, Jim
