I don't like this. Please fix your PATH before calling krb5-config.
Either you want to use kerberos, then it should be added to your path, or
you don't, then it's irrelevant whether it is in the path or not.
I was about to reply the same way, but still an important questions is: did this installation (in /usr/kerberos) come with a common vendor package or was it a manual installation? If there's a common vendor package that puts it this way, we may want to deal with it, even though it's considered broken to not have it in $PATH then.
