I was compiling some new software and as a result of that needed to add /usr/local/lib to my /etc/ld.so.conf file. But I managed to have leftover cruft in that directory - much of it several years old, and pam managed to pick up those libraries rather than the default Debian ones. In this case, strace was a useful tool; I could see it attempt to open and access the wrong libraries. But one would think that the user libraries (/lib & /usr/lib) would be searched first, overriding any other entries.
