just tried installing from pypi, and got that error.

You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Trying to install the gssapi is failing because it cannot find the krb5-config binary on your system to get the GSSAPI installation details on your host. Make sure you have that installed and is on the PATH for Python to use when installing.

[nmz787]

moved to a system with krb5-config installed
