Tom,
Sorry for the delay, -- I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable
in Mac OS X would help you out, but apparently this list is too small
(just 70 subscribers currently).

This sounds like a lack of development libraries installed on your
system. You can probably get them installed.
Alternatively, considering that OS X is rather BSD'ish, you can try
compiling with AUTH_PASSWD and it might just work due to getpwnam(3)
accessing the right password database. Of course, you won't get the
flexibility of PAM in this way, but you may not need it for your
particular install.
Please post to the list once you have tried that.
