I was a little curious about this, so I went and downloaded the very same
file (to make sure I didn't tar the wrong source tree or something) and
built the thing agoin on my Solaris 2.5 (sparc) box and it works fine.
It also works fine on the box I'm typing this from (FreeBSD 3.2). I use
$HOME/Maildir (without the trailing slash) as my pine inbox-path, I have
./Maildir/ in my .qmail file, and my env is:
[richard2 james james]$ echo $MAIL
/usr/home/james/Maildir
Kai speculated that it might have something to do with the Linux shadow
support but I have no idea what the deal is with the Solaris box, except
that it's Intel, and I don't see any mention of Intel Solaris in the
pine-ports file (not that it should have to...).
Anybody else have any success with it? Platform?
