Have you run /sbin/ldconfig ?

If so, check /etc/ld.so.conf and make sure that /usr/kerberos/lib
is listed in this file.

Another thing to do is to try running "ldd" on the binaries that
you're having trouble with.  E.g. try "ldd /usr/sbin/lpd".  On my
RH 7 system, this prints the following:

saguaro:kev$ ldd /usr/sbin/lpd
        libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x40023000)
        libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x4008b000)
        libcom_err.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3 (0x400a0000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400a2000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

You should check to make sure that all of these paths exist and that
the libraries in question have the correct permissions set.
