It can be the problem of C language but the problem of the libraries on
your host.  On what OS are you?  What is the version of your PAM library?
I'm using Linux RedHat 7.1 and MacOS X both with Linux-PAM 0.74.
The version of PAM is shown at the bottom of on-line man pages of pam.
Can you get the man pages as follows?
% man pam
% man pam_strerror

Anyway what we need is just the error code from pam_start().  It it is
done without pam_strerror() thus the patch enclosed will be enough
instead of the former.

Cheers,
