That (kerberos) sounds like Redhat.  I have this script for fixing an
old Redhat 9.0 which hasn't been incorporated into the configure script:

#!/bin/sh
KRB=/usr/kerberos
export LIBS="-L$KRB/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto 
-lcom_err"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$KRB/include -I/usr/include/openssl"
export CFLAGS="-O -g $CPPFLAGS"
cfg-lynx $*

("cfg-lynx" is another script which provides the normal options).

In aclocal.m4, that starts with the CF_SSL macro.
