Re: Plz help me install qmail

Hi Maaz,

I guess you are having c compilation problems

./load auto-str substdio.a error.a str.a
substdio.a(substdo.o)(.text+0x43): In function `allwrite':
: undefined reference to `errno'

Verify if this version of qmail may be compiled with your version of c compiler (gcc).
To see the version of your C compiler run
rpm -qa | grep gcc

BTW, sorry to say it again, why don't you use Postfix my friend. It's the most easier MTA to install and setup that I know.

Re: Plz help me install qmail

I m very thankful to u Dear Xyko.

Ok i'll check and let u know about the version of c compiler.

I really highly appreciate ur sugestion, about using Postfix, but dear i m not the decision maker.. most of the time I m just responsible to implement the solutions.. choosing the best solution is not mine responsiblity.

Re: Plz help me install qmail

Try updating the gcc compiler, see if that helps.

If that does not work, try a different version of qmail.

Re: Plz help me install qmail

zillion of Thanks Dear Friend Xyko, for the support, and help.
Thanks SEP for the reply.

#rpm -qa |grep gcc

gcc-3.2.3-20
libgcc-3.2.3-20

Re: Plz help me install qmail

oh dear friend,

it seems like your error is already known to the world. check the below link, and look for the highlighted area containing text 'Some linux systems don't like the way qmail uses "errno":'

Hope this helps,
