    Nitchi Da Mon - 2004-10-15

    I have a Redhat 9 system completely patched to the latest BEFORE redhat stopped the support on it.

    I downloaded all of the files here and nothing. Can't compile.  In the RPM of the source files are the 2 patches   (sendmail+mysql and sendmail-sql-make...)  both of these refused to install and patch the system.
    Ok, I went back to the original patches that are NOT part of the RPM...  these actually patched the source and I was able to get to the MAKE.
    whoops.. spoke too soon.. error with the ld -lpq command, can't link.

    Ok, scratching head, lets try the sendmail+mysql RPM.  Nope. dependancys on glibc-2.3.4 and libdb-4.2

    Try and find an RPM for glibc2.3.4  no go, everythign says they pulled this glibc back... ohhh k

    Got the libdb4.2 and installed that correctly, yet I can;t go any further.

    ok here are my questions...

    1) what redhat versions does this work with?
    2) I have a sneaky suspicion that the glibc-2.3.4 was on Fedora ?  Should I update to Fedora core 2?
    Will it work then ?
    3) I finally got it to compile once, BUT the patch that is in the source RPM didn;t allow it to compile with MYSQL..<scratches head some more> Are there any other RPMs available that do NOT require the glibc-2.3.4 ?

    I *really* like the idea of putting things into a MYSQL file and I have some need of this.  But I can;t get it to compile.

    Should I just give up and install FEDORA ?

    tia.

      try postfix, it's working 100% and is preatty easy and flexible to run.

      I have RedHat 9 system and am running sendmail+mysql on it for MTA but run postfix for MDA , it's running pretty smoothly.

      more info on postfix may be found on www.postfix.org

      good luck
