Authen::PAM

[Vince Brammer]

Hi

    Im trying to build Authen::PAM from the ports tree.

However, its not working. Configure checks for -ldl (which it doesnt find).

The build works (doesnt error out).

Make test fails test 10, and

I get many errors from PAM

         unable to dlopen , adding faulty module

 

I thought the ports were supposed to work.

 

Is there something im missing?

 

Im using perl 5.6.1, and running on a 4.4 stable system.

 

Id really like some help , so anything would be appreciated :)

 

 

Vince

The *dynamic* PAM library has problems in FreeBSD as of now. Until this
is fixed, the easiest solution is to do the following:

As root:
# cd /usr/ports/security/p5-Authen-PAM
# mkdir files
# cat >files/patch-Makefile.PL
--- Makefile.PL.orig Tue Dec 5 15:39:40 2000
+++ Makefile.PL Mon Nov 5 12:16:36 2001
@@ -42,7 +42,8 @@
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Authen::PAM',
'VERSION_FROM' => 'PAM.pm.in',
- 'LIBS' => ['-lpam'],
+ 'LIBS' => ["-lutil -lopie -lradius -ltacplus -lrpcsvc -lskey"],
+ 'dynamic_lib' => {OTHERLDFLAGS => '/usr/lib/libpam.a'},
'CONFIGURE' => \&configure,
'PREREQ_PM' => { POSIX => 0 }, # module dependenices
'dist' => {
^D
# make clean
# make
# make install

This instructs the port to use statically linked libpam.a, and appears
to work in my tests, on both -current and -stable.

Please try this one out, and tell me whether it fixes your problems. If
it does, I'll commit this fix shortly.

Hi,
I was unable to make the patch take, it was rejected each time.
After manually editing Makefile.PL, the ports build did work with perl
5.005.x and the source did build with perl 5.6.1.
Also, the source build passed all (12) steps in test.
I havent tested the module out as yet, just did the builds and make
tests'.

Thank you for the reply. I wish I had been able to figure this out for
my self, but I dont have a full grasp of what is going on behind the scenes.

If I can be any more help, dont hesitate.

Vince
