Okay. Here's the scoop. This took most of the day because each compile takes so long. I believe we are getting closer. (Bear with me!)

I made the Makefile.am change as suggested.

I kept krb5 installed.

The build failed exactly as before.

Some things I noticed that might help further.

====================================================
1. With the change to the Makefile.am file, the final Makefile changed as expected:

WAS:
kio_http_la_LDFLAGS = $(all_libraries) $(GSSAPI_RPATH) -module $(KDE_PLUGIN) -lgssapi_krb5

CHANGED TO:
kio_http_la_LDFLAGS = $(all_libraries) $(GSSAPI_RPATH) -module $(KDE_PLUGIN) $(GSSAPI_LIBS)

No more build fails at the previous point.

Conclusion: Makefile.am should be patched.

====================================================
2. A suspect message in the configuration messages:

./configure: line 48785: test: =: unary operator expected

Line 48785 in the configure file:
if test $system_has_xrandr = no; then

Conclusion: Possibly harmless but who knows.

====================================================
3. Some suspicious text in kdelibs/kioslave/http/configure.in.in. Should there be a space before the dash?

IS:
${GSSAPI_LIBS}-lgssapi_krb5

CHANGE TO?:
${GSSAPI_LIBS} -lgssapi_krb5

Conclusion: ??

====================================================
I ran the build again. The build failed again but at a new point.

The end of the build output:

autostart.cpp: In constructor 'AutoStart::AutoStart(bool)':
autostart.cpp:51: error: 'getenv' was not declared in this scope

I'm no c++ programmer, but I searched the web a bit and then wondered whether a missing '#include <stdlib.h>' might help. I added that in the autostart.cpp headers.

I again ran the build script. The build failed again but at a new point.

Maybe this is a gcc thing because I'm sure the package compiles for you. I'm using gcc 4.2.4.

Conclusion: Patch autostart.cpp.

====================================================
I ran the build again.

The end of the build output:

I tried the same remedy by adding '#include <stdlib.h>'.

I ran the build again. Nope.

I again checked the web and saw something about including the header file that defines KProcess. A quick grep and I found smbview.h. In kmmainview.cpp I added #include "smbview.h".

I ran the build again. Nope.

Conclusion: Back to you!
