Linux distributions, these packages are usually listed as
the following (here is what they look like on Fedora):
pam-1.1.8-18.fc22.x86_64.rpm (64-bit package)
pam-devel-1.1.8-18.fc.22.x86_64.rpm (64-bit package)

(1) OpenSSL library, necessary for encryption, version 0.9.8 or higher
required, available from http://www.openssl.org/
required, available from http://www.openssl.org/. If you build
OpenSSL from source tarball, you will need to let OpenVPN-2.3.x
know where the libraries and header files were installed to:
If you configured OpenSSL with stock options, it will install
the headers (i.e. - .h files) in /usr/local/ssl/include and
the libraries (i.e. - .a or .so files) in /usr/local/ssl/lib/openssl
(2) PolarSSL library, an alternative for encryption, version 1.1 or higher
required, available from https://polarssl.org/
(3) LZO real-time compression library, required for link compression,
available from http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/
OpenBSD users can use ports or packages to install lzo, but remember
