Hi There thank you for your swift reply. I tried from the start again. 

I downloaded the source from the MIT site again and ran the configure
command. Then i ran the make and then make install. 

After that i ran the krb5_util command again using TSSG.ORG but i keep
getting the same error message: 

create: Unable to load requested database module 'db2': plugin symbol
'kdb_function_table' not found while creating database

Error. If i attached my kdc.conf and krb5.conf files would that make any
difference? 

Kind Regards
Anthony McGovern
