Do you have sys-libs/pam and the needed modules installed?
Yes - ebuild version 0.77 is installed.
I'm a little stumped as it compiles for me. Can you try for the sake of it recompiling sys-libs/pam and then screen. If it still fails can you attach /var/log/portage/app-misc/screen-4.0.2/workdir/app-misc/screen-4.0.2/config.log. Can I also get your pam version although I doubt it will have too much influence. Thanks.
I got a few other people to test this and it works without problem. If you want to reopen it attach the config.log previously mentioned
