I'm evaluating the PowerMTA software, which comes as a linux i686 RPM.
Under FreeBSD 9.0 with the linuxalator loaded, and the linux_base-f10
port installed.
To get this to run, I had to also extract the contents of the
following RPMs: pam-1.1.1 and audit-libs-2.1.3-3 which I grabbed from
a CentOS 6.2 disk.
When I start the daemon, it says this now:
# pmtad --debug
2012-03-06 08:25:46 Startup error: Error enumerating local IP
addresses: Error reading interface addresses (getifaddrs), status =
EAFNOSUPPORT
Luckily, they have a workaround for getifaddrs() missing in "older
kernels", but then it fails because it seemingly cannot create the
command socket:
# env PMTA_USE_GETIFADDRS=0 pmtad --debug

Note also that it detects "-1 MB memory" which is weird... must be
another missing system call.
At this point, it seems I will have to actually run a CentOS machine
to use this software, which saddens me to no end.. but this is not the
place to gripe about how painful that is.
Anyhow, are these issues worth filing PR's?
Also, is there some technical reason that the linuxalator base is x86
and not available in 64-bit variant? The PowerMTA software also comes
as 64-bit which increases the memory it can use.
