| There was somewhere a thread containing courier-authlib and AMD64 with
- -fPIC
| around in the last days. It was called "compile "vpopmail" with -fPIC on
| x86_64". I am not sure if these guys found a solution because on my
AMD64 it
| works without any problems (I am using an older version) and because
of this
| I didn't follow this thread...
| There is one thing which makes me thinking that the mentioned thread
_could_

you
| posted: " /var/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a: could not read symbols: Bad
value"
| Did you already install vpopmail? IMHO courier needs some
vpopmail-libraries.
| Because of the fact, that I installed the whole thing last time about
1 year

maybe
| it's a point to have a look for...
| Btw: IMHO the ebuilds for qmail, vpopmail and courier provided by Gentoo
| aren't very good. After having some troubles while using them, I
installed
| these thing completely by hand.
| <irony>
| Maybe you want to ask Jeremy Kitchen from Inter7 for his opinion about
the

| </irony>

Yes. Jeremy got me using Gentoo as well. What you learn very quickly is that ebuilds aren't so great for certian things. You should avoid the qmail, vpopmail, etc ebuilds like the plague. As far as the courier option, you probably should edit the Makefile, and add -fPIC to the compiler options.

If you do this without the ebuilds how do you avoid other items being installed such at ssmtp it appears that this is installed by default. you have to unmerge it in order to emerge qmail. how do you keep it from adding itself back inthere and potentially causing problems with doing an emerge --update --deep --newuse world ?
I appologize for the questions but I am new to gentoo and still trying to learn.
Thanks for the help,
