Specifically, the issue is that many system components (EG SSL, LDAP, PAM, etc) are packaged in multiple parts. One part is just the run-time pieces (binary apps, libraries, etc) which is what most people want/need to use those services (this is the way most systems are installed by default). Another package of parts is the "developer package". This has the include files etc which people would need to develople (make/compile) new programs that want to utilize those services. It's those 'dev' packages that you're lacking. They are often named "blah-dev" where "blah" is the base name of the component.
Thus Yiorgos's advice to you to install the "libpam-dev" package.
