My error. The original DRAC RPM was putting the library in its own
subdirectory under the system library directory. Gary's Makefile does
not install the library from its build location. My release of the RPM
moves the library to the standard system location so qpopper's config
script will find it.

DRAC doesn't put the library anywhere. It leaves it in the source
directory. You are free to install it anyplace that you wish, although
it's only needed to build qpopper or another mail server.
My practice in compiling software is not to install static libraries
at all. I just add ``-L/path/to/source/version/directory'' to the
link definitions for the software package, or an equivalent definition
to the configure script. Other people prefer to install all static
libraries in standard locations so that the linker will find them
automatically. It's a design decision.
