As I said, the build logs. Listen, do not keep sending emails saying this is 
not working please help. I have no idea what distribution you are using or if 
you have even contacted them. If you are using a distribution, please contact 
them.

You point to syslog and ask why audit is not working. Audit doesn't send to 
syslog, it sends to auditd unless auditd is not running. Is it?

Audit is working for all distributions I know of. If it's not working for 
you, it is incumbent on you to explain what your system is using and how 
you've checked it. Try ldd for example to see if pam is actually linked 
aginst libaudit.
