Jeremy,
this is a little off the main topic, but i was wondering ..
what does the -fPIC do? what causes this "issue" ? good buddy of mine wrote & updates a QMAIL Install script ... does it all for you, including courier-IMAP or Bincc ... and he was wondering whether or not he shoudl include the -fPIC command when his script compiles vpopmail - whether this command will bomb & cause errors on 32bit systems.
I will take the production server down in a little, and try to install vpopmail with fpic the way you suggested.
Thanks again,
--marco

are you saying that one will have to run
CFLAGS=-fPIC BEFORE the ./configure
like Nick stated? so in essence i would run my configure as followed:
#CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-logging=p --enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail
yep, that's how you would do it. You could also do something like (assuming
bash):
# export CFLAGS="-fPIC" # ./configure .....
but that would also affect all subsequent builds within that session.
One thing I like to do, is create (outside of the source tree) files called
say... ./configure-sqwebmail, ./configure-vpopmail, etc.. that contain my
configure command lines. For instance, here's my ./configure-apache
#!/bin/sh
exec ./configure --with-so --enable-rewrite --enable-suexec \
--with-suexec-caller=nobody --with-suexec-docroot=/home/www --enable-ssl \
--enable-proxy --enable-dav --enable-dav-fs
you could easily do something like:
#!/bin/sh
exec CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure ......
I apologize in advance, I'm learning.
no need for apologies, everyone is new at some point :)
