While trying to compile databases/postgresql16-client:

[...]
checking whether to build with ICU support... yes
checking for icu-uc icu-i18n... no
configure: error: ICU library not found
If you have ICU already installed, see config.log for details on the
failure. It is possible the compiler isn't looking in the proper directory.
Use --without-icu to disable ICU support.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql16-client

ICU doesn't seem to be listed as a dependency of this package.

With the latest commit, configure goes a bit further but still
stops:

configure: error: could not find function 'gss_store_cred_into' required for GSSAPI
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql16-client

I am afraid this will only work with MIT Kerberos. Release notes for PostgreSQL 16 mention "Require MIT Kerberos for GSSAPI support". I guess the "gssapi" option should be disabled by default.

Kind regards,

Adam
