pam_appl.h and pam_misc.h missing, in rshd.c source code

I am working on a centOS 5.5 OS.

It shows error that /security/pam_appl.h and /security/misc.h file is missing.

Actually my rshd.c does not loads PAM module, may be by putting this libraries, it helps me to work my rshd fine. That's why I posted this question.

Error:-

rshd.c:90:31: error: security/pam_appl.h: No such file or directory
rshd.c:91:31: error: security/pam_misc.h: No such file or directory

I search a lot but didn't get any useful rpm that gives these files.

Some links are here. But not suitable for centOS.

Help me. Tell me how can I overcome from this problem.

Edit no 1

Your third link seems useful. When I try to install pam-devel , it shows some error.

When I run

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/Linux-PAM-1.1.6 \
            --disable-nis &&
make

it checks for some variables , then it makes object file, but at the end it shows,

make[3]: *** [pam_xauth.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `~/Linux-PAM-1.1.6/modules/pam_xauth'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `~/Linux-PAM-1.1.6/modules'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `~/Linux-PAM-1.1.6'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Edit No. 2

As I followed your command, it shows me below error, at the end.

This error came, when I run make && make install

pam_xauth.c:64:27: error: selinux/label.h: No such file or directory

Solution

I don't have CentOS at the moment, but it seems like this is a common problem. See here for information, it's suggested you install pam-devel so you don't have to build from source via:

yum install pam-devel

Seems everytime I find a site where the problem is the same as yours the fix is to install this. I'm downloading CentOS 5.5 to give it a try now, but did you just try running that command?

If you did install that and it's still not finding the header files I'd give this a try:

cd /
sudo find . -name "pam_appl.h"
sudo find . -name "pam_misc.h"

It's possible that they were installed and didn't go into your standard include path, or didn't go into the security/ directory, in which case you'll need to either move them or change the way the header is included in your code.

Note for the sudo commands you'll have to enter your password.
