huh. you are right. i originally installed pgbouncer with yum but removed with just "yum remove pgbouncer" before following "Building from Git" section at http://www.pgbouncer.org/install.html.
but it still looks like no ldap or pam and same error when starting up. any suggestions on how to completely remove and reinstall with support for pam?

I'd suspect that pgBouncer is not built with PAM support after all.
Run "ldd" on the executable and see if it links with OpenLDAP.
