This is saying that you are missing this header file.  On my machine
(Debian Linux "testing") the package that provides that file is libkrb5-dev.

Even if you're not using Debian, or Linux, this page may help you locate
which packages on your system may contain a given missing file:

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents

Entering krb5.h in the "Search the contents of packages" box brings up a
list of packages containing files ending in "krb5.h", one (likely
example of which) is libkrb5-dev.
