I have used qpopper with Tru64, Digital Unix, OSF/1 for years. Sometime in the not so distant past but I can't remember when or the details of why, I have had to configure with the following:

 ./configure --enable-specialauth --without-pam

Was --enable-specialauth needed?  If you left it off, what happened?


Currently with Tru64 V5.1A with PK6, I have successfully compiled and run 4.1a4 with the following compiler:

 alpha> cc -V
 Compaq C V6.4-014 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A (Rev. 1885)
 Compiler Driver V6.4-215 (sys) cc Driver


Unfortunately, 4.1a5 will not successfully compile based on the same configure. It stop with the error:

 cc -c -I.. -I.. -I. \
                 -I../mmangle -I../common  \
                 -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DOSF1 -DUNIX main.c -o main.o
cc: Error: main.c, line 150: Missing type specifier or type qualifier. (missingtype)

This appears to be associated with 4.1a4 to 4.1a5 enhancements associated with ipv6 support. Since Tru 5.1A supports ipv6 even though it is not being used, I tried to configure with:

 ./configure --enable-specialauth --without-pam --enable-ipv6

but that made no difference. By defining INET6 in config.h, 4.1a5 will successfully compile and run.

Do you know in which header file this is normally defined? If it is a missing .h on Tru64, fixing ./configure to add it or add it in the right place might be the proper solution.
