If vpopmail configures you can copy those files from the vpopmail source into the vqadmin source. We had the same issue with 64bit machines. We have a new release of vqadmin for next week that has those files updated plus a Post message feature. OK, vpopmail has now configured/compiled/installed without problems. And if you want me to test vqAdmin with the config.guess and config.sub files from vpopmail then I'm happy to do that. But I found the following configure command worked for me (before I saw your reply). I found a recommendation to try powerpc-apple-bsd instead of powerpc-apple-darwin after extensive googling. ./configure --build=powerpc-apple-bsd \ --enable-cgibindir=/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables \ --enable-htmldir=/Library/WebServer/Documents I have vqAdmin installed and working fine now. If you need someone to test/compile future versions of vpopmail/qmailadmin/vqadmin on an OS X box, please let me know. I will be happy to help.

If OS X is simply not a supported platform (yet) but you would like to add support, I'm happy to help but I will need assistance to know to get it working. wild guess Maybe you should try... make distclean automake aclocal autoconf then try to configure again.
