'--enable-pam' is not a valid option. '--with-bdblibdir' is a typo.

If your headers are in /usr/include/security, and your pam library in
/usr/lib, then you'd want to do:

--with-pam=/usr

A successful config.log should look something like:

configure:6916: checking for security/pam_appl.h
configure:6921: result: yes
configure:6916: checking for pam/pam_appl.h
configure:6921: result: no
configure:7054: checking for pam_start
configure:7124: result: no
configure:7162: gcc -o conftest -Wall -W -g -O2   -I/usr/include
-L/usr/lib conftest.c -lpam  >&5
configure: In function 'main':
configure:7169:1: error: 'pam_handle_t' undeclared (first use in this
function)
configure:7169:1: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once
for each function it appears in
configure:7169:15: error: 'pamh' undeclared (first use in this function)
configure:7172:1: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_start'

...

ac_cv_header_pam_pam_appl_h=no
ac_cv_header_paths_h=yes
ac_cv_header_security_pam_appl_h=yes


Which means that pam_appl.h was successfully found in
/usr/include/security/, but not /usr/include/pam/.

On closer inspection, this looks OK.

What does saslauthd/config.log look like? any additional errors there?
