PAM installation fails using mysql 5.7 packages

[Agustín]

Following installation instructions on https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-pam-for-mysql/installation.html yields the following errors, when using mysql 5.7 community packages:

shell> ./configure
...
checking for mysql_config... /usr/bin/mysql_config
checking for pam_start in -lpam... yes
checking mysql/plugin.h usability... no
checking mysql/plugin.h presence... no
checking for mysql/plugin.h... no
configure: error: Unable to find MySQL development headers. Please install them

Some additional information:

shell> pkg-config --cflags mysqlclient
-fstack-protector -m64 -fabi-version=2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -I/usr/include/mysql

shell> rpm -qa | grep -i mysql

shell> find / -name "*plugin.h"

Uploading config.log file, too.

I'm affected with this bug on Ubuntu 16 LTS as well,

configure:12126: result: no
configure:12126: checking mysql/plugin.h presence
configure:12126: gcc -E -isystem /usr/include/mysql conftest.c
In file included from /usr/include/mysql/mysql/services.h:26:0,
                 from /usr/include/mysql/mysql/plugin.h:59,
                 from conftest.c:23:
/usr/include/mysql/mysql/service_srv_session_info.h:31:53: fatal error: violite.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

There are no such file in MySQL 5.7 community edition bundled with Ubuntu, for some reasons I have to use Oracle's flavor of MySQL.

Could you please fix build for MySQL 5.7 ?

Just curious if there are plans to upgrade the pam module to support mysql 5.7?
