so, I tracked this down to the dlopen of the module failing because it
couldn't find a dependent module(libdb)

I worked around the libdb problem in a slightly different way than phil
did, and that may be why it didn't get installed for me, but I really
don't know why the library isn't getting installed in the first place?

what is this library, how should it be linked, and what all depends on it?

I'm really trying to figure out how this should actually work so that I
can figure out where the current situation is going wrong. Any help is
appreciated. My real goal at this point is to help get a patch in to the
kerberos developers so that the next release can be built on AIX out of
the box again.
