There is no --enable-pam that I see. There is a:

--with-pam=DIR          use PAM (rooted in DIR) yes

But you probably only need to use that option if your pam installation is
in a location that ./configure cannot find.

That indicates that ./configure can't find pam/pam_appl.h, whereever it may
be installed. If that file is installed, but ./configure isn't doing the
right thing, you could specify a --with-pam, or you could specify a
'CPPFLAGS' environment variable to assist it with finding the location,
like:

CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include/pam/'
export CPPFLAGS
./configure ...

And if you have linking errors, you might have to do:

LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib/pam'
export LDFLAGS

as well. See ./configure --help for details.
