That's easy to solve, just download http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.11.tar.gz , and do the usual mantra of ./configure; make; make install (well obviously /usr/local/lib has to be added to /etc/ld.so.conf) > Some questions: > > >> ---------------->script<------------------ >> #!/bin/bash -x >> >> >> mkdir /usr/sbin/bak >> cp -p /usr/sbin/exim /usr/sbin/bak/exim_stary.bak >> cd /usr/sbin >> mv exi* /tmp >> >> cd /usr/local >> rm -rf exim-* dlfunc >> chmod 755 /usr/bin/wget >> wget ftp://ftp.easynet.be/exim/exim/exim4/exim-4.68.tar.gz >> >> cp -v /etc/exim.conf /root/exim-`date '+m%m_d%d-%H_%M'`.save.conf >> >> tar xvzf exim-4.68.tar.gz >> cd /usr/local/exim-4.68/Local >> wget http://www.directadmin.com/Makefile >> perl -pi -e 's/^EXTRALIBS/#EXTRALIBS/' /usr/local/exim-4.68/Local/Makefile >> ldconfig >> > > I can't imagine what 'ldconfig' would help here. > This is "just in case" for sake of (manually compiled and installed) libiconv. >> cat >> /usr/local/exim-4.68/Local/Makefile << EOF >> >> HAVE_ICONV=yes >> CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/exim-4.68/build-Linux-i386 >> -I/usr/local/exim-4.68/src >> > > no need to use "-I/usr/local/exim-4.68/build-Linux-i386 > -I/usr/local/exim-4.68/src" > ( dropped -I/usr/local/include also because there was nothing to include on > the test setup) > I've added that only after make weirdly complained about missing headers in Exim source: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/exim-4.69/build-Linux-i386/lookups' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../config.h', needed by `cdb.o'.

Anyway, I determined that building Exim with original Makefile (copied from src/EDITME) works fine, but I need to get it working with this particular Makefile and have no idea why it might fail: WITH_CONTENT_SCAN=yes WITH_OLD_DEMIME=yes BIN_DIRECTORY=/usr/sbin CONFIGURE_FILE=/etc/exim.conf SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE=/etc/aliases EXIM_USER=mail SPOOL_DIRECTORY=/var/spool/exim ROUTER_ACCEPT=yes ROUTER_DNSLOOKUP=yes ROUTER_IPLITERAL=yes ROUTER_MANUALROUTE=yes ROUTER_QUERYPROGRAM=yes ROUTER_REDIRECT=yes TRANSPORT_APPENDFILE=yes TRANSPORT_AUTOREPLY=yes TRANSPORT_PIPE=yes TRANSPORT_SMTP=yes TRANSPORT_LMTP=yes SUPPORT_MAILDIR=yes SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes SUPPORT_MBX=yes LOOKUP_DBM=no LOOKUP_LSEARCH=yes LOOKUP_CDB=no AUTH_CRAM_MD5=yes AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes AUTH_SPA=yes SUPPORT_TLS=yes TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto TLS_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/openssl/include/ -I/usr/kerberos/include EXTRALIBS=-static INFO_DIRECTORY=/usr/share/info LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim/%slog EXICYCLOG_MAX=10 COMPRESS_COMMAND=/usr/bin/gzip COMPRESS_SUFFIX=gz ZCAT_COMMAND=/usr/bin/zcat EXIM_PERL=perl.o NO_SYMLINK=yes LOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0755 LOG_MODE=0644 PID_FILE_PATH=/var/run/exim.pid SUPPORT_MOVE_FROZEN_MESSAGES=yes HAVE_ICONV=yes CFLAGS=-O -I/usr/local/include EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-L/usr/local/lib -liconv -export-dynamic -ldl EXPAND_DLFUNC=yes -- Marcin Krol -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
