Compiling Apache 2.x with SSL on Red Hat 9

On compiling Apache 2.x with SSL on a Red Hat 9 system I received the error "krb5.h: no such file or directory". This is because Redhat decided to put the kerberos header files in /usr/kerberos/include instead of /usr/include.

To get around the problem:

1. Make sure you have the krb5-devel and krb5-libs rpms installed.
2. Create Symlinks for the header files.

ln -s /usr/kerberos/include/com_err.h /usr/include/
ln -s /usr/kerberos/include/profile.h /usr/include/
ln -s /usr/kerberos/include/krb5.h /usr/include/
