Try this before make:

chmod 755 /home/vpopmail/lib
chmod og+r /home/vpopmail/lib/*

AND... after make install-configure:

chmod og-rwx /home/vpopmail/lib
chmod og-r /home/vpopmail/lib/*

YMMW. But that should help.

I had this SAME problem and it turned out to be a link path issue.  So, I re-ran the configure script like this,

$ LDFLAGS="-L/home/vpopmail/lib" ./configure [configure options]

I have vpopmail installed in /home/vpopmail.  It's been a while since I did this so I *might* have used CFLAGS instead of LDFLAGS.  In any case, specifying the path to the vpopmail lib directory will solve the linker problem:
