'locate' is your friend. As is 'rpm'. Here's why:

$ locate pam_appl.h
/usr/share/doc/pam-0.75/html/pam_appl.html
/usr/include/security/pam_appl.h
$ rpm -qf /usr/include/security/pam_appl.h
pam-devel-0.75-40

If you're building software that links against the pam libraries, you
need the pam development package installed on your system, so you have
the library headers it needs. If it isn't already installed, it is
usually worth googling for a hint about what the header is, and whether
it should be part of your OS or part of the package you're trying to build.

Install the appropriate package for your OS, and try to build again.
