Hello, I'm trying to build the C driver with Kerberos support, from mongo-c-driver-1.9.5.tar.gz. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, 64-bit Intel, with gcc 5.4.0. I run CMake like::
$ cmake .
-- The C compiler identification is ;GNU 5.4.0
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works
... SNIPPED OUTPUT, but when you ask for help, include full output without any omissions ...
-- Searching for libsasl2
-- Not found (specify -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/sasl/lib for SASL support)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (_message):
SASL not found
Can you tell me what I need to install? Thanks!
