try to compile without kerberos and run phpinfo afterwards. If LDAP is shown in
the list, everything might ok without kerberos. Sometimes modules like IMAP and
LDAP are compiled with kerberos, then you also need kerberos.
By the way, kerberos isn't as buggy as it seems and in fact OpenSSL had recent a
huge hole ;-) but its always better to leave PHP as slim as possible.
