Thanks Tom! Also I notice that version 5.4.13 is available under the
stable
releases on SourceForge, and it says it includes the -fPIC option.
However
it doesn't solve my problem; and I have the latest mysql version
(5.0.17
generic rpm) installed which is apparrently compiled with the -fPIC
option
but it still errors with
"Linking libauthmysql.la

Patching vpopmail with this patch didn't solve my problem... but
surely my
error is with courier-authlib? Thanks for your help,
I think that libauthmysql is a part of courier-imap, and it shouldn't
be necessary for your system. Courier-IMAP only needs the authvchkpw
module in order to do authentication. I'm not familiar enough with
courier-imap to know how to tell it which modules to compile.
I have been researching some more and now I am a little confused about
the
vpopmail relationship... could you tell me where/how I need to apply
this
patch? Will patching vpopmail really help my courier-authlib compile
problem?
The patch applies to vpopmail's Makefile.am. The make system should
rebuild Makefile.in from the Makefile.am. After you rebuild and
reinstall vpopmail, libvpopmail should be compiled with the -fPIC
option.
