Russ,

Thanks, that fixed it!  I must say, I didn't even know about the -R option 
to gcc and can't find it in the gcc man page.  What does -R do anyway?

I had just assumed that the '-L/usr/local/kerberos/lib' would be 
sufficient to tell the linker where to find the libraries.  Why did only 
libk5crypto have a problem and not, for example, libkrb5?

(My knowledge about linking is clearly inadequate).

Thanks again.

Mike
