I'll take a stab in the dark and say you need the pam development files. Didn't say which distro but for ubuntu/debian thats package "libpam0g-dev" and for redhat/fedora thats "pam-devel"

Thanks. I am on debian\kubuntu.

I apt-got the package, and I'm compiling at the moment.

I'll tell you if it works.

text-mode.c:39:21: error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory

This type of error during compile ("error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory") usually means you have a needed development package missing (in this case ncurses).

You can help yourself often when this error occurs, by using "apt-cache search" (I note you're using a Debian based distro).

eg. do something like

apt-cache search ncurses | grep dev

or for your previous problem 

apt-cache search pam | grep dev

At least you can get some idea of what packages you might need to install by doing this.

I've got Xorg from CVS installed on Breezy, but I find it a lot slower than 6.8.

Without xcompmgr running, dragging windows over the desktop causes the system to lock for several seconds while it redraws at a snail's pace. Also sub pixel font rendering is slow enough to make gedit unusable for me.

Anyway thanks for the guide Rezza, I'm going to go looking for patches now ...

    • Minecraft Chase the Skies update and Vibrant Visuals graphics overhaul lands next week

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Minecraft Chase the Skies update and Vibrant Visuals graphics overhaul lands next week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The second major game update of the year for Minecraft is almost here. Mojang today announced that its next Game Drop, Chase the Skies, is landing on June 17. Alongside it, the highly anticipated graphics overhaul, dubbed Vibrant Visuals, will be available too, making the day a rather big occasion for Minecraft fans. The Chase the Skies update has a large number of gameplay features and content, but one of the biggest is the expansion of the Ghast. Now, players will be able to find Happy Ghasts as a tameable mob, letting up to five players ride them on journeys across the skies. To get one, players will have to find small, dehydrated Ghasts near fossil structures in the Nether, then bring it to the overworld and feed it plenty of water. It is also possible to craft dried Ghasts from Nether materials. Other features of this update include a handy player locator bar, better leads functionality, craftable saddles, a new music disc, and more. As for the Vibrant Visuals upgrade, Mojang is touting a visual refresh that lets players witness how lights and shadows affect the Minecraft world. "Fly high with your happy ghast to watch the sunrise reflect on the rippling ocean, make art with shifting shadows, descend into dark depths, or simply sit back and enjoy the vivid beauty of each biome," says the studio. "With updated in-game visuals you’ll see how light and shadow transform the Overworld – water reflects, forests become shaded, fog drifts, and waterfalls glimmer in the light." The currently supported devices for Vibrant Visuals include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, as well as Android (Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher) and iOS (A12 or M1 or higher.)   Unfortunately, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade will only be available on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, at least for now. Mojang has said that it plans to bring the visual overhaul to the Java Edition of Minecraft at a later date, but no information or release window has been announced just yet.
