While installing GDM, I received the following error related to the definition of a GdmSessionWorkerPrivate in gdm-session-worker.c

sudo port install gdm

Needs debug output.

According to someone on the mailing list it's just a matter of including <pam/pam_appl.h> vs <security/pam_appl.h>.

Can you explain how you would do that??

So for 10.6, the correct header is <security/pam_appl.h>. However, a couple of patch files with the gdm are changing security/pam_appl.h to pam/appl.h to make it work with 10.5. I don't know what the right solution is other than to conditionally set what the patch files should be between OSes, but I just created a copy of the gdm port as a local project with my changes. It's ugly, but it worked for me to just get it done.

Ahh it worked! I searched for the gdm-session-worker.c file; and changed the line " #include <pam/pam_appl.h> " to " #include <security/pam_appl.h> "

yes, it works

Hi, I have the same problem. Since I am not really an expert, where do I find this gdm-session-worker.c? I tried to locate it, but nothing happened.
