[BUGS] MacOS X build --with-pam - bad directory for pam_appl.h

[Phillip C . Dibner]

Folks,

This is minor. Nonetheless:

The --with-pam option seeks for pam_appl.h at path <security/pam_appl.h>, but this directory does not exist in the stock Jaguar installation. Please see configure output snippet below. Of course, --with-libraries can't help here; the security directory is in the argument of the #include directive.

The PAM header files on Jaguar, including /pam_appl.h, are in /usr/include/pam.

As I'm just passing through for a build, I do not have a proper fix for you. However, I did test via (cd /usr/include; ln -s pam security), and configure runs flawlessly (as does the build).

Thanks,
