Does not seem to work with the Heimdal in NetBSD 1.5.

A person on the Postgres lists suggested this code fragment (I think it
needs an #include <stdio.h>):

#1/bin/sh

A=`tempfile`
B=${A}.c

cat >$A.c <<EOF
#include <krb5.h>

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  printf("%s\n",heimdal_version);
}

EOF

gcc -lkrb5 -o $A $B
exec $A
rm $A $B


as a way to tell. :-)

Take care,
