I'll take a stab at what you are doing, because you have not identified *what book* you are following, it is just a guess though. You apparently are following the stable book, but not using the sources the stable book says to use. If this is the case, there's really nothing I can do to help, as it is not going to work. If I'm right, then what you should do until you become a bit more experienced is to do what the book says without deviation. This includes using the version of sources the book says to use. With PAM, the instructions are specific to a version of the sources. If you don't use what the book says to use (be it the stable or development book), it won't work without changing the commands that create the symlinks to point to whatever version of the libraries you install. Now, as Dan pointed out yesterday, we are going to update the PAM instructions so that it won't be so version specific. But until then (I would have done it already, but cannot until tomorrow), you'll need to follow the book, to include using the version of sources the book says to use. Or, as I mentioned earlier, change the symlink creation commands to point to the actual name of the libraries installed. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
