Python 2.1 Compilation error - can't find krb5.h

I am attempting to compile python 2.1 from the source on a RedHat 9.0
system.  The problem is that a openssl header file (kssl.h) requires
krb5.h which isn't in the usual place (/usr/include).  Instead krb5.h
gets installed at usr/kerberos/include.  The openssl version is
0.9.7a-2.  When I build python, the ./configure works fine but the
make' has problems building the _socket extension.  The beginning of
the error message is pasted below.  How do I let python know where to
find the krb5.h file?
