linking problems with Kerberos (heimdal) on FreeBSD

Hi!

I'm having some difficulties using postgresql version 8.0.x with heimdal
installed from /usr/src (i.e. the base system). This is on FreeBSD-5.x.
When using the port of heimdal, from /usr/ports/security/heimdal, it works.

The port install into /usr/local, whereas the base system is in /usr.
Here's the difference between the heimdal port and the heimdal distributed
in the base:

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/libkrb5.so
/usr/local/lib/libkrb5.so:
        libcrypto.so.3 => /lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x281b3000)
        libasn1.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libasn1.so.6 (0x282c4000)
        libroken.so.16 => /usr/local/lib/libroken.so.16 (0x282ea000)
        libcrypt.so.2 => /lib/libcrypt.so.2 (0x282f8000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x28311000)
$ ldd /usr/lib/libkrb5.so
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so:
$

Same goes for the other heimdal libs, libasn1.so and libcom_err.so.

I don't know enough about linking details, but shouldn't the
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so lib also contain info about libraries it depends on?

I'm not getting any replies on this from the FreeBSD guys, so I'm asking
you. Just for your information, the postgresql-7.x versions worked fine
with all Kerberos versions on FreeBSD, so it is something in the postgresql
distribution/build that has changed to trigger this problem, although I'm
inclined to believe that it is really FreeBSD's base heimdal that is
behaving badly.

Problems are like these:
