Anyway, the wierdness continues. Despite the mailx documentation claiming that it can be built with nss support by adding both nspr and nss header directories to the make file it steadfastly refuses to accept both; it only reads the second one in my script. I've tried reversing them but it's always only the second entry that gets read. I finally got it to build with a horrible hack: changing the paths of six nss header files in four different mailx files. Whether it runs or not remains to be seen; I'm still in chroot. If you, or anybody else, have any better ideas they would be very welcome. I've contacted the mailx developer to see if I can get an answer. Richard
