This is a Linux platform, I downloaded Kerberos into /usr/include/heimdal
and do find the krb5_encrypt function within krb5-protos.h in that
directory. I have added it to my configure script but still get the same
error. I am just trying to add in the admin module to pgAdmin3 and need the
configure to finish properly so I can get the $libdir path set correctly.

What platform is this, and where does it actually keep its Kerberos
libraries? It sounds like you are missing libcrypto or libk5crypto ...
