trouble with ldap_r

[Allan S. <as...@in...>]

Trying to build -pre06, with the following in setup.cfg:

libs = ldap_r lber sasl ssl crypto

Once built, I try to test it by firing up python (working dir
build/lib.linux-i686-2.2/) and importing ldap.  My session looks like:

Python 2.2.1 (#1, May 14 2002, 16:46:46)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ldap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "ldap/__init__.py", line 21, in ?
    from _ldap import *
ImportError: /usr/kerberos/lib/libk5crypto.so.3: shared object not open

I saw this previously and thought it might be that I was using
openldap-2.0.23, contrary to advice in the README file.  So I built 2.0.27
and used those libraries to build python-ldap-2.0.0-pre06

Looking at ldd output for _ldap.so, it seems to be finding
everything:

Can anyone shed any light on what exactly the error "shared object not
open" means?

If I specify ldap instead of ldap_r in my setup.cfg libs, I do not get
this error on import ldap.
