There is a problem in the config files for krb5p1.
In src/util/profile/configure, around line 1199, the code has
a comment in it that gets catted to a C program which doesn't use # for
comments or recognizes #line as a valid preprocessor command.
Things like this make it hard to deploy Kerberos.
I haven't gotten make to work yet on an HP. I had several bad include files on
my AIX 4.2 machine. See my Web page:
