This is probably a case of the run-time linker being unable to find

LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, e.g.,
LDFLAGS environment variable, e.g.,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LDFLAGS="-R /usr/sfw/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib"

9) Can I compile PostgreSQL with Kerberos v5 support?
Kerberos is integrated in OpenSolaris and will be integrated in Solaris 10u4. GSS security
mechanism contains internal Kerberos v5 library implementation which provide all necessary
