Acutally, I found it just the way you suggest and it is installed.. checking the filesystem for all files that are like "libpam0g-dev" yeilds the following without a .so in the bunch :(
ls -R / | grep -i libpam0g-dev libpam0g-dev libpam0g-dev /usr/share/doc/libpam0g-dev: /usr/share/doc/libpam0g-dev/examples: /usr/share/doc/libpam0g-dev/examples/test: /usr/share/doc/libpam0g-dev/examples/test/agents: /usr/share/doc/libpam0g-dev/examples/test/modules: /usr/share/doc/libpam0g-dev/examples/test/regress: libpam0g-dev_0.72-9_i386.deb libpam0g-dev.list libpam0g-dev.md5sums libpam0g-dev.postinst libpam0g-dev.prerm On Fri, 23 Feb 2001, Tommi Komulainen wrote: > On Fri, Feb 23, 2001 at 08:48:13AM -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > what package will provide a lib to resolve the below? > > > > auths/auths.a(call_pam.o): In function `auth_call_pam': > > call_pam.o(.text+0x16e): undefined reference to `pam_start' > > Rule of thumb, when compiling stuff from sources, make sure you have > corresponding -dev packages installed. > > You're looking for libpam0g-dev, which you could've found yourself with > the following, for example: > > % apt-cache search pam|grep dev > libpam0g-dev - Development files for PAM > libroxen-cloakingdevice - Mailto mutilation module for the Roxen Challenger > web server > > > -- > Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] > GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6 >
