Hello everyone. I would really appreciate any help that can be offered. First, in the interest of full disclosure let me say that I am a newbie to Linux and qmail. I have managed to install our Redhat 6.1 system and get it connected to our LAN and the Internet. I now would like to set up the Linux machine as a mail server. Following the instructures given on Life with qmail, I am trying to install qmail using the source codes. So far I a have downloaded qmail and the two add-ons (daemontools and ucspi-tcp), and followed the steps up to building (Section 2.5.5 in Life with qmail). In the qmail-1.03 subdirectory, I typed make setup check After a series of compling, I get the following response: fatal: unable to find user alias make: ***[auto_iods/c] Error 111 , and end up back at the root prompt. Then, following the next directions, I typed ./config and then ./config-fast our.full.hostname at this prompt. I got the following response: bash: ./config: No such file or directory bash* ./config-fast: No such file or directory I have checked the user account tab in linuxconf treemenu and there are users and aliases. My user account is Caroline and my e-mail alias is MAILER-DAEMON. The user account is there. My questions are: 1. Why did the make setup check command not find user alias file? How do I create one? 2. Is the make+***[auto_iods/c}Error 111 warning a different problem. If so, how do I correct this? 3. Why doesn't the ./config or ./config-fast command work? Will it work once the user alias problem is fixed? Thanks in advance for any advice. I sure need it. CarolineT
