I tried to compile pam_ldap-184 but it gave lots of error msgs. BTW, I have successfully compiled nss_ldap-255.

For pam_ldap, my configure looks like: ./configure --with-ldap-lib=openldap --with-ldap-dir=/usr/local --with-ldap-conf-file=/usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

and the following is the configure output --- start of configure output --- creating cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... missing checking for working autoconf... missing checking for working automake... missing checking for working autoheader... missing checking for working makeinfo... missing checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for security/pam_appl.h... no checking for security/pam_misc.h... no checking for security/pam_modules.h... no checking for pam/pam_appl.h... no checking for pam/pam_misc.h... no checking for pam/pam_modules.h... no checking for des.h... no checking for crypt.h... yes checking for lber.h... yes checking for ldap.h... yes checking for ldap_ssl.h... no checking for sasl/sasl.h... no checking for sasl.h... no checking for main in -ldl... yes checking for main in -lpam... no checking for main in -lresolv... yes checking for main in -lcrypt... yes checking for main in -lnsl... yes checking for gethostbyname... yes checking for main in -llber... yes checking for main in -lldap... yes checking for ldap_init... yes checking for ldap_get_lderrno... no checking for ldap_set_lderrno... no checking for ldap_parse_result... yes checking for ldap_memfree... yes checking for ldap_controls_free... yes checking for ldap_set_option... yes checking for ldap_get_option... yes checking for ldapssl_init... no checking for ldap_start_tls_s... yes checking for ldap_pvt_tls_set_option... yes checking for ldap_initialize... yes checking for ldap_sasl_bind... yes checking for ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s... yes checking for gethostbyname_r... yes checking whether gethostbyname_r takes 6 arguments... 6 checking for ldap_set_rebind_proc... yes checking whether ldap_set_rebind_proc takes 3 arguments... 3 updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile creating config.h --- end of configure output ---

After running make, I got these error msgs below. I need help, please. TIA.
