Squid now requires pkg-config for autodetection of a lot of libraries.

Does your version of Heimdal provide a *.pc file for pkg-config?

If it does you may need to use something like:

   ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/heimdal/krb5.pc

OR,

   ./configure --with-heimdal-krb5=/usr/local

   This is the intended way going forward.
   But still experimental and YMMV.

OR,

  ./configure \
     CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
     LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

OR,

   maybe reduce the ./configure settings to avoid the components that 
make it a requirement (eg the kerberos helpers).
