Red Hat's Cracklib RPM is broken and has been since at least 7.1. See http://www.dragonstrider.com/cracklib for fixed packages. There is an open Bugzilla entry for this: 68339.

If you get the original library you will have that file. Get it from: ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/libs/cracklib/ Maybe it is an option to rewrite the extension to support the interface avalable from the rpms or to support both. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-02 17:11:49] helly@php.net Configure checks for the wrong haeder file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-02 16:53:44] julio dot p dot dominguez at usdoj dot gov ./configure --with-crack cracklib rpms are installed header file is located in /usr/include lib files are located in /usr/lib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22509&edit=1
