Dear friends:

I'm trying to install  QPOPPER3.0  (beta 13 and beta 15) at FreeBSD  3.0
systems, but I can't  succeed.  I think the problem  comes from the fact
that  ./configure  doesn't  recognize  GDBM located under  /usr/local...
When I try to compile the program, the compiler  presents some problems,
linke  "undefined  symbols",  because  there  some  problems  at QPOPPER
sources.  With some little arrangements at popper.h and popauth.c files,
the compilation process succeeds.

When    I    move     /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.a     to    /usr/lib    and
/usr/local/include/gdbm.h  to /usr/include  ./configure  detect GDBM and
the  compilation  succeeds...  but,  when  I try  to use  POPAUTH,  this
program presents some problems, as you can see:

mail# cd /usr/local/etc/qpopper
mail# ls -la
total 349
drwxrwxrwx   2 root  wheel     512 May  3 20:44 .
drwxr-xr-x  13 root  wheel     512 May  1 21:14 ..
-rwsr-xr-x   1 pop   wheel   43306 May  3 20:42 popauth
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  300665 May  3 20:42 popper
mail# ./popauth -user test
./popauth: unable to open POP authentication DB /usr/local/etc/qpopper/pop.auth:
     No such file or directory (580)


Has anyone  succeeded  to install  QPOPPER3.0  at FreeBSD  systems?

I will appreciate very much any help. Thanks in advance.

Best regards.
