This sounds like some kind of problem in extraction.  According to tar
on my Linux system, the tar file we distribute for Solaris includes:

-rw-r--r-- root/other  2547256 2002-09-11 20:07:17 usr/local/lib/libk5crypto.a
-rw-r--r-- root/other   236516 2002-09-11 20:07:17 usr/local/lib/libk5crypto.so.3.0
lrwxrwxrwx root/other        0 2002-09-11 20:07:17 usr/local/lib/libk5crypto.so -> libk5crypto.so.3.0
lrwxrwxrwx root/other        0 2002-09-11 20:07:17 usr/local/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 -> libk5crypto.so.3.0
-rw-r--r-- root/other 11373212 2002-09-11 20:07:22 usr/local/lib/libkrb5.a
-rw-r--r-- root/other  1174148 2002-09-11 20:07:22 usr/local/lib/libkrb5.so.3.1
lrwxrwxrwx root/other        0 2002-09-11 20:07:22 usr/local/lib/libkrb5.so -> libkrb5.so.3.1
lrwxrwxrwx root/other        0 2002-09-11 20:07:22 usr/local/lib/libkrb5.so.3 -> libkrb5.so.3.1

and so forth.

Again, this doesn't match the contents of the tar file:

% tar tvzf krb5-1.2.6-sparc-sun-solaris2.8.tar.gz | grep bin/
...
-rwxr-xr-x root/other    22276 2002-09-11 20:07:28 usr/local/bin/krb524init
-rwxr-xr-x root/other   157668 2002-09-11 20:07:33 usr/local/bin/v5passwd
-rwxr-xr-x root/other    19244 2002-09-11 20:07:35 usr/local/bin/klist
-rwxr-xr-x root/other    34432 2002-09-11 20:07:36 usr/local/bin/kinit
-rwxr-xr-x root/other     8948 2002-09-11 20:07:36 usr/local/bin/kdestroy
-rwxr-xr-x root/other     7980 2002-09-11 20:07:36 usr/local/bin/kpasswd
...

We've already got it.  Did you get your copy off our web site?
