Still no luck; I have tried configuring courier-authlib with --without-authmysql and --with-redhat but I just get:
Linking libauthvchkpw.la /usr/bin/ld: /home/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a(vpopmail.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /home/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a: could not read symbols: Bad value when I try to gmake couier-authlib. I unfortunately cannot apply the patch to the included version of vpopmail 5.4.10 either - I receive: patching file Makefile.am Hunk #1 FAILED at 18. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.am.rej I have x86_64 RPM (generic) versions of mysql 5.0.17-1 installed (the latest off the mysql site). So, unfortunately, it looks like it is not possible to install the Shupp toaster on FC4 with x86_64 architecture at this stage? This is a pity... I will have to swap back to a 32-bit platform, which I am dreading. Lots of downtime... :) If anybody has success in getting the toaster compiled (and specifically courier-authlib) with Fedora Core 4 on an AMD64 system could you please let me or the list know! I would be very interested to know how you did it.
