I got the same, and worked round it by installing libspf2-1.2.5. This
is beta code, or rather worse than that: for example, spf2/spr_server.h
#includes a nonexistent "spf_dns_internal.h", and the spfd daemon is
undocumented except for a list of options (with no explanations)
presented in response to "spfd --help". Fortunately, the #include can
just be commented out, and the query code works fine with the Perl
versions of spfd.
