Also, most RPM-based distributions split libraries into two packages: the binary libraries, and the header files needed to compile programs using the libraries. For example, on my system, I have libdb-1.85 installed. So, any binary RPMs that require libdb are happy. However, I don't have libdb-devel-1.85 installed, so anything I'm compiling that wants libdb can't find the necessary header files to use it. So, if exim can't find a library that you know you have installed, make sure the -devel RPM is also installed (presuming you use an RPM-based distribution). > peter > > > begin Ryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Wwell, I decided to ditch qmail and use the recommended exim.
