Please cc bug-im in your responses, so it gets saved in the archives.

I noticed that your .zephyr.vars file was world readable. Looking
through it, your exposure is set to none, which means "don't run
zephyr", though owl ignores this. Setting it to another setting (one
of opstaff, realm-visible, realm-announced, etc..) should fix this.

gaim builds cleanly for me against libkrb5-dev. In case you're
interested, here are the list of kerberos related packages I have
installed on my debian unstable/testing box.

ii  krb4-config    1.4            Configuration files for Kerberos Version 4
ii  krb5-clients   1.2.5-1        Secure replacements for ftp, telnet and rsh 
ii  krb5-config    1.4            Configuration files for Kerberos Version 5
ii  krb5-doc       1.2.4-5        Documentation for krb5
ii  krb5-user      1.2.5-1        Basic programs to authenticate using MIT Ker
ii  libkrb-1-kerbe 1.2.2-2        Kerberos Libraries for Kerberos4 From KTH
ii  libkrb5-dev    1.2.5-1        Headers and development libraries for MIT Ke
ii  libkrb53       1.2.5-1        MIT Kerberos runtime libraries
