Hi Guys,

First off let me say hello!

Secondly, please help me :o)

I was just wondering if anyone could give a helping hand with a problem 
im having following an install.

Basically these are the instructions I have:

#############################################

Getting and installing pam_mysql
Download

Origin-Site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pam-mysql/
Installing

tar -xvzf pam_mysql-0.5.tar.gz

cd pam_mysql

If you have compiled mysql by yourself, check the Makefile and enter the 
correct path to your mysql libs and add the compiler flag CFLAGS 
-I/path/to/mysql/include.

ifndef FULL_LINUX_PAM_SOURCE_TREE
export DYNAMIC=-DPAM_DYNAMIC
export CC=gcc
export CFLAGS=-O2 -Dlinux -DLINUX_PAM \
       -ansi -D_POSIX_SOURCE -Wall -Wwrite-strings \
       -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wtraditional \
       -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline \
       -Wshadow -pedantic -fPIC -I/usr/local/mysql/include
export MKDIR=mkdir -p
export LD_D=gcc -shared -Xlinker -x -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lz
endif

After customizing that file you an go ahead with the pam_mysql compile.

make

cp pam_mysql.so /lib/security

[[ ! -d /var/lib/mysql ]] && mkdir /var/lib/mysql
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

###########################################

I am confused, because firstly I am using version 0.7RC1, not 5. Also 
what do I have to change? it is telling me to edit the Makefile? But 
what do i have to change? because the syntax looks like it should be a 
patch file, but that would be for version 5?

Can anyone help or am i getting th wrong end of the stick?

Thankyou in advance!

Kind Regards

Tony
