I haven't divulged this to this list yet, but I compiled Exim 4.22 and SA-Exim 3.1. Did it on highly modified RH Linux 7.2. Everything works beautifully. To do so, I had to follow (more or less exactly and to the letter, before even starting,) Marc's SA-Exim README and INSTALL. I really also had to have a wealth of experience in compiling and installing Exim/eximon at all. I found that I had to patch Exim 4.22 src with Marc's dlopen patch, 'diff -u', check and patch my previous Exim Local/Makefile with my new EDITME, check the new Exim Makefile, edit the SA-Exim Makefile and change the default locations, change file names and more. I also had to 'diff -u', check and patch my old spamassassin.conf with my new sa-exim.conf.patch. The thing is, Unix should not expect things to happen "automagically". GNU spoils people with autoconfig, libtools etc. Unix expects that Unix people should know what they are doing. Hard but true. There are always courses: LPI for Debian people, Red Hat for Red Hat people, Sun for Solaris people, (SCO used to have courses for SCO people but SCO blew it,) etc. Marc is already doing his essing best. If one does what he writes/recommends, everything ought to work. Ha det, --Tonni -- Tony Earnshaw Looking backwards is always easy with hindsight http://www.billy.demon.nl Mail: [email protected]
