[OpenWrt-Users] problems with libpam

[Kövesdi György]

Hi,

I use Kamikaze 7.09.
I have compiled many things natively, but there are strange problems
around libpam.
The first thing is the files of this module:

root at OpenWrt:~# /usr/bin/ipkg files libpam
Package libpam (0.99.6.3-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/lib/lib/security/pam_debug.a
/lib/usr/man/man5/time.conf.5
/lib/usr/include/security/pam_modutil.h
/lib/usr/include/security/pam_misc.h
...

and many similar ones, of course. It seems that all the library is built under 
the /lib directory, except some files.

The configure script of qpopper4.0.9 wants to compile the test program for 
libpam:

gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lpam   -lcrypt -ldl

and the result is:

/opt/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam

Of course, because it is located under the /lib/lib/ directory. I tried to 
move all the files to their expected location (e.g. the objects to the 
directory /lib/ ) but the result is the same.

Now, I tried to add '-L/lib' to the commandline:
(the objects are already moved to the directory /lib/ )

gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -L/lib -lpam -lcrypt -ldl
/tmp/cc49CBje.o: In function `main':
configure:7401: undefined reference to `pam_authenticate'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I think that /lib/ must be a default search path for objects.
After this, I checked the library:

root at OpenWrt:~# nm /lib/libpam.a | grep pam_authenticate
00000074 T pam_authenticate

I think that libpam.so must contain the same, but it responds "no symbols" to 
this command.

I gave up here. Any hints?

Thanks in advance
