It isn't quite clear to me if you have libcrack installed or not. When I tried to install Crypt::Cracklib it asked me where crack.h/packer.h and libcrack resided. Due to a inconvenient line break I didn't notice that it defaulted to /usr/local/include. (on my distro Linux RH 6.2 cracklib is installed in /usr/include /usr/lib). Second time around I entered right directories and no problems.

So first find out if libcrack and it's headers are installed somewhere on the target host. If they are make sure you enter the right directory paths when Crypt::Cracklib aske's.

If no cracklib is installed or is but headers are missing. Grab the source compile and install it!
