What version of Kerberos are you trying to compile -- V4 or V5?  Where did you
get the source code that you're trying to compile?  What version of that
source code is it (e.g., which release, and which patch level)?  What program,
in particular, is trying to link against libhesiod.a?

In case you haven't gotten it by now, the point I'm trying to make is that the
more detailed the information you give us, the more likely it is that we'll be
able to help you.

In any case, if your Kerberos build is trying to link against libhesiod.a,
then you probably configured something wrong.  Usage of Hesiod is optional in
the Kerberos build, so you presumably did something in order to cause the
build to try to use it.  More than that, I can't tell you, until you post the
answers to the questions I asked above.
