Now that I think about it, the libgssapi_krb5.so file is probably a
symbolic link to the library included in the krb5-libs package. Look
for an error in the command "rpm -V krb5-libs". Red Hat has issued a
security fix for that library, by the way; you should upgrade to the
1.2.7-14 version of your krb5 packages. If an incorrect installation
or version is the cause of this problem, that ought to fix it as a bonus.
