You have to run autoreconf i the source top directory and rerun configure
to get the configure.in patch to accully do thing.

Do you have kerberos (like http://www.pdc.kth.se/kthkrb/) installed,
it doesn't seem that way on the includes. (rxkad depend on it, and
the error codes are in rxkad/rxkad.h, I guess they could be broken out).

The simple solution (for us) is that you install kerberos ;)
