| Post subject: | problems installing postfix |
ok... first of all, im pretty new to all of this so go easy im trying to install postfix. well actually i have been following this excellent howto here http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/ and the part im going thru at the moment is at http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/install.html so. everything so far is completed upto the part where you install postfix. Now when I try and install postfix I keep getting these dirty errors. Ive got thru a couple of them by adding links and changing a few lines of the install files to get round errors... etc.. but this one has me stumped... Ive googled it, and found some people getting the same problems and they said to install zlib? do they mean perl zlib? well i installed that, stilll the same problems.. Now the only thing that I didnt do exactly as it says to do is install mysql 4 from a rpm. So im typing... Code: make makefiles CCARGS='-DHAS_MYSQL \ which seems to work fine, however when I do a 'make' I get the following: Code: [root@li-*** postfix-2.0.16]# make So... as you can see... a dirty big error... anyone got any idea's? im using the redhat 9 small distro. thanks |

No, they mean zlib as in http://www.gzip.org/zlib My (Gentoo) linode only has that zlib installed (nothing related to perl) and postfix with mysql support compiles OK. |

ok.. installed zlib but still same problems any idea's? By the way, as the howto mentions, i did install the postfix rpm, and now im trying to install over the top of that. Does anyone see this as being a problem? |

do you think that would be becuase i installed it as an rpm? by the way, mysql by itself seems to run fine.. i havent done any extensive testing, but as far as connecting from the command line, creating tables etc... its fine. well, im going to uninstall the rpm and then do it properly |

well, im going to uninstall the rpm and then do it properly Often there is a "devel" RPM accompanying the regular RPM for a software package. For mysql it would probably be called mysql-devel. I would expect to find the header files necessary for compiling applications against mysql in the mysql-devel package. |
