Re: [Perlgssapi-developer] [rt.cpan.org #48732] look for krb5-config in /usr/kerberos/bin

[Achim G. <ac...@gr...>]

Hello Mark,

if you run the the "perl Makefile.PL" in this way:

perl Makefile.PL --gssapiimpl /usr/kerberos

You can always specify the path where to look for
krb5_config utility. (run "perl Makefile.PL --help" for all available 
options).

In general the GSSAPI-Makefile.PL does not look into the PATH environment,
it makes direct use of the systems /usr/bin/which for searching for 
krb5-config and it's path.

From that point of view I suppose if you can make your sudo-toolchain properly
run the "which krb5-config" the other parts will work fine.

Does this help on your problem?

Best Regards,
Achim
