Well, you were right about perl..., I removed perl.o and it went past that
point. Trouble is, I'm going to need perl in order to use exim to do virus
scanning. If I can't get it to work under SCO then I just spent $70 on the
O'Reilly Exim book for nothing. I'm sure that there's someone out there doing
this. *crosses fingers and says a little prayer*
Now the other problem is that the build blows up on symbol reference errors in
dns.o (see attachment). I don't think I can just take that out too. Won't I
need dns to resolve domain names?
I wish there was a cookbook out there for Exim under SCO. I had the same
problems with Apache/PHP/MySQL. I ended up writing a cookbook for that myself
after I got it going.
Where are the SCO gurus out there?
Thanks for your ear.
