I can confirm worksforme. I do not have pam installed and the instructions work just fine. When configuring, you get: Summary : ------- run in debug mode by default : no PAM : no SELinux : no Run without root's rights : no Load average support : yes compile fcrondyn : yes ... If Robert confirms that he has PAM: no in configure and still gets the error, then we need to investigate. I recommend leaving the ticket closed for now. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
