While "emerge world" after a new installation I got a compile error for pam- 0.75-r11: pam_userdb.c:33:4: #error "failed to find a libdb or equivalent" I have -gdbm and -pam in my USE variable. After "emerge sys-libs/db" pam compiled without error. Is this possible because of a missing dependency in the PAM ebuild? Regards, Christian.
It should compile without db, apparently the code to support that is broken.
the ebuild i have at dev.gentoo.org/~woodchip/pam has good support for USE=berkdb and USE=pwdb also. still in development though.
I have just tested your 0.77 ebuild with db-4.1.25_p1, gcc-3.3.1, and cflags of "-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" and things look great so far. If I run into any pam related problems further on down the line, i'll post on this bug, but install went flawless and emerge system seems to have gone just fine.
what's the status of this?
given rakers last response of it works for him, and lack of further input from reporter, i'm closing this.
