Ken, I'm tagging on to the end of this post, not because I have an answer to your issue, but because, coincidently, I'm looking at mailx at the moment and I can see that you are the owner of the patch. I've found another issue which, maybe, could be added to your patch. Mailx is supposed to look for NSS first before falling back to OpenSSL. I have NSS installed and it didn't find it. On examining the config.log I can see that it's looking in /usr/include/ssl.h when the NSS header is actually at /usr/include/nss/ssl.h. In the book we create the /usr/include/nss directory but this clearly breaks the mailx build. Richard
