Yeah, I had no time to build RPMs for for RHEL3. Will do it later today.

SRPM suits all Red Hat'ish platforms.

This is/was a bug of RHEL 3 and it was fixed in newer versions. Here is 
quick solution to solve your problem:

[root at web root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
[root at web root]# ll /usr/include/krb5.h
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           28 Feb 14  2005 
/usr/include/krb5.h -> /usr/kerberos/include/krb5.h

That's what I did on most of my RHEL 3 boxes.

That's weird. I've committed the fixes to RH spec file before 1.1.2 was 
released. :( The CVS version does not include those bugs.

Use

make rpm

to build RPMs...

See above.

See the INSTALL file for the details of this.
