[RESOLVED] PAM missing files

saleh · Post by **saleh** » 2012/07/24 01:34:49

Hello all,
Using CentOS 6.2, when I'm trying to include 'pam_appl.h' and 'pam_misc.h' in a C application, I can't find them as shown below.

[code]
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_misc.h>
[/code]

[code]pam_app.c:12:31: error: security/pam_appl.h: No such file or directory[/code]

So, what can I do? Should I install PAM source and recompile it or what I should do?

Thanks in advance :)

yum install pam-devel

If you should take the recommended step of RPM packaging your C application be sure to include "BuildRequires pam-devel" in your spec file to spare others from the same issue.
