[root@xxxx vpopmail-5.3.30]#


I tried adding the following line at the end ..

> --enable-incdir-inc=/usr/local/inc \


but still get the same error .. any idea what i am doing wrong??

Is this qmail or vpopmail? Platform?

sorry .. my head is spinning ..

Vpop ... for administering Qmail

from the configuration...
configure: error: Unable to find your inc dir, specify --enable-incdir.
And you mentioned that you have tried:
--enable-incdir-inc=/usr/local/inc

Notice the bold?

BTW, kindly please let us know what you have done so far? Have you install qmail already before trying to install vpopmail? Your linux distribution please...

Generally you just need to run the following:
cd /path/to/your/vpopmail-xxxx
./configure --enable-logging=p
make
make install-strip
Provided you have install qmail first as I never try without qmail being install first.

qm8309, thanx foir the link, this was actually what i am using..

this is a home machine. redhat 7.0
Qmail is installed using var-qmail-1.03-2-gnu-linux-i686.tar.gz from
http://www.qmail.org/rpms/var-qmail/ and is running. in addition i used http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html for a guide as well.
