Hello.

I was trying to get qpopper 2.41beta1 to work with APOP support in RedHat. The
following are the amendments I made to the Makefile and popper.h in order to
resolve the char definition conflict errors and the missing gdbm headers
problems.

in Makefile
-------------
DBM_LIBS        =        -lgdbm 
LIBS            =        -lresolv    -lcrypt    -lgdbm

in popper.h
-------------
/* extern char         *   sys_errlist[]; */

Instead of using apopuid=pop, i used root as the apopuid.

./configure --enable-bulletins=/var/spool/bulls --with-apop=/etc/pop.auth
with-apopuid=root

Now everything compiled properly. In fact, qpopper works quite well for
simple POP3 operations, such as checking and downloading mail. However, when I
try to change the APOP passwords, I get the following error message:

[root@home hoeteck]# popauth
Changing POP password for root.
New password:
Retype new password:
popauth: /etc/pop.auth: unable to open POP authorization DB

Can anyone help?

Thanx in advance!
