When i want to configure pam_mysql-0.6 (./configure --with-pam=/usr/local/include/security --with-mysql=/usr/local/bin/mysql_config), I get an error message "configure: error: Cannot find pam headers. Please check if your system is ready for pam module development." :( What i do wrong? :( fBSD support PAM modules and in the past there was installed pam_mysql-0.5 from port .. but i must update it because older version doesn't support MySQL 4.1 .. Thank you.

I have been searching all over the net for an answer to this question, and I finally found a way past the error, so I am sharing my experience in the hopes that it may help others.My setup:
Fedora Core 5
pam modules located in /lib/security
pam services listed in /etc/pam.d/
The clue to my error was the end of the line:
"configure: error: Cannot find pam headers. Please check if your system is ready for pam module development."
I use yum for package management, so I:
yum install pam-devel.i386
since the above line was mentioning that my system may not be ready for pam module development
that allowed configure to complete successfully.
good luck to others.
