How to compile...

[Jason Gerfen]

Ok, I have tried the suggestions given but still no dice.  Do you know 
of a good tutorial reference for specifically compiling source as a pam 
module?  I have been googling for days and not found anything except 
some small tutorials on the available libraries, not compiling as a 
shared object which is the information I need.

Thanks again
