Hello I have documented each step up until they fail.
I just started fresh after rebooting and re-downloading the source. I am
now stuck where I was previously and begging for help. I do not see what to
do if the compile fails. I am not blaming qmail which is the general
impression I get from this list. I am just trying to install it and see if
I want to use it, and recommend it to other newbies. Unfortunately I am the
smartest newbie I know, and I know a lot of newbies.

1. Create the qmail home directory:
# mkdir /var/qmail
[root@www qmail-1.03]# mkdir /var/qmail
2. Read INSTALL.ids. You must set up the qmail group and the qmail
users before compiling the programs.
[root@www qmail-1.03]# more INSTALL.ids
Linux:
# groupadd nofiles
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias alias
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaild
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaill
# useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmailp
# groupadd qmail
# useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailq
# useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailr
# useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmails
So I did:
groupadd nofiles
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias alias
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaild
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmaill
useradd -g nofiles -d /var/qmail qmailp
groupadd qmail
useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailq
useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmailr
useradd -g qmail -d /var/qmail qmails
3. Compile the programs and create the qmail directory tree:
# make setup check
[root@www qmail-1.03]# make setup check
( cat warn-auto.sh; \
echo CC=\'`head -1 conf-cc`\'; \
echo LD=\'`head -1 conf-ld`\' \
) > auto-ccld.sh
cat auto-ccld.sh make-load.sh > make-load
chmod 755 make-load
cat auto-ccld.sh find-systype.sh > find-systype
chmod 755 find-systype
/find-systype > systype
( cat warn-auto.sh; ./make-load "`cat systype`" ) > load
chmod 755 load
cat auto-ccld.sh make-compile.sh > make-compile
chmod 755 make-compile
( cat warn-auto.sh; ./make-compile "`cat systype`" ) > \
compile
chmod 755 compile
( ( ./compile tryvfork.c && ./load tryvfork ) >/dev/null \
2>&1 \
&& cat fork.h2 || cat fork.h1 ) > fork.h
rm -f tryvfork.o tryvfork

reveals that these files are indeed on the drive someplace.
Ok thats when I tried installing the RPMS from the link at
http://www.qmail.org/top.html and joined this mailing list and got verbally
and mentally abused by the entire world for being "so fscking like the GNU
generation" or some such nonsense.
So ... I went and did "rpm -e" on the 2 rpms and everything named qmail
anyplace on the drive I could find with "locate qmail"
I just started fresh after rebooting and re-downloading the source. I am
now stuck where I was previously and begging for help. I do not see what to
do if the compile fails. I am not blaming qmail which is the general
impression I get from this list. I am just trying to install it and see if
I want to use it, and recommend it to other newbies. Unfortunately I am the
smartest newbie I know, and I know a lot of newbies.
