mailsync @5.2.1: configure fails to find pam on 10.6+

[posita (Matt Bogosian)]

I have a local, single-user installation of MacPorts (in "${HOME}/ports/..."). The reason I have a local, single-user installation is because I do not have root privileges on that particular machine.

I recently tried to perform a "port install mailsync" and found that configuration failed (the specific error is "a working c-client installation is required for building mailsync").

Here is the result:

% port install mailsync
--->  Computing dependencies for mailsync
--->  Configuring mailsync
Error: org.macports.configure for port mailsync returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port mailsync for details:

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Is there a config.log (in the work directory) that you could attach that might shed some more light on this?
