Hello, I'm trying to build PAM-0.74 and getting the following error: ld -x -shared -o libpamd.so dynamic/pam_item.o dynamic/pam_strerror.o dynamic/pam_end.o dynamic/pam_start.o dynamic/pam_data.o dynamic/pam_delay.o dynamic/pam_dispatch.o dynamic/pam_handlers.o dynamic/pam_misc.o dynamic/pam_account.o dynamic/pam_auth.o dynamic/pam_session.o dynamic/pam_password.o dynamic/pam_env.o dynamic/pam_log.o pam -lc -ldl ld: cannot open pam: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [libpamd.so] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/root2/bos/auth/pam/libpam' make[2]: *** [libpam] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/root2/bos/auth/pam' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/root2/bos/auth' If I cd into pam/libpam and run make, it builds libpam.so correctly with: mkdir -p dynamic ld -x -shared -o libpamd.so dynamic/pam_item.o dynamic/pam_strerror.o dynamic/pam_end.o dynamic/pam_start.o dynamic/pam_data.o dynamic/pam_delay.o dynamic/pam_dispatch.o dynamic/pam_handlers.o dynamic/pam_misc.o dynamic/pam_account.o dynamic/pam_auth.o dynamic/pam_session.o dynamic/pam_password.o dynamic/pam_env.o dynamic/pam_log.o -lc -ldl The difference seems to be the existance of 'pam' as the third-to-last parameter to 'ld'. I'm configuring with these options: Configuring with: --exec-prefix=/ --cache-file=/usr/src/root2/bos//config.cache --libexecdir=//usr/sbin --mandir=//usr/share/man --sysconfdir=//etc --infodir=//usr/share/info --prefix=//usr i486-lnxs-linux-gnu --enable-debug --enable-libdebug --enable-read-both-confs --enable-fakeroot=/usr/src/root2/ I've tried removing the "--enable-debug --enable-libdebug --enable-read-both-confs --enable-fakeroot=/usr/src/root2/" options, to no avail. My defs file, with the symlinked 'default.defs', is the same as the distributed 'redhat.defs'. Wil -- W.
