/usr/include/sys/stat.h (types.h) is missing. This is an developement
environment installation problem. You are possibly missing some
-dev or kernel-source packages.

i suspect the C compiler doesn't look there by default.
You _may_ get away by adding "-I/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/"
to conf-cc, so that it looks like:
cc -O2 -I/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/include/
that may help to compile the sources. You possibly *need* to to
add -L/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/ to conf-ld, too.

yeah, but not where your compiler expects them.

No. I call that SuSE generation :-)

Mail server installation is not exactly newbie stuff, but qmail may also
be installed by newbies on linuxmachines if the machines are installed
properly. Your's isn't, sorry.
