I have now found the note. I wrote:

| # export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/kerberos/include"
| # export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib"
| # ./configure

This may not be what you need for your Mandrake system, but from mkmf.log it
turned out there was some interdependency between the openssl and kerberos
libraries, and RH in their wisdom had put the kerberos libraries in a
non-standard place.

mkmf.log is your friend.
