ERROR: if user made libvpopmail.a readable, then the configure will
say "unsecured... blah blah blah". Really, I don't know how to check
for the lib version, but I think that something like this it's a
little bit correct:
if [ -d ~vpopmail ]
then
if [ ! -r ~vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a -a `$HOW_TO_CHECK_LIBVERSION`
]
then
echo "" 1>&6
echo "$ac_n""found...Please read VPopmail FAQ #??" 1>&6
else
if [ -r ~vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a -a `$HOW_TO_CHECK_LIBVERSION` ]
echo "" 1>&6
echo "$ac_n""found...ok, I can use libvpopmail.a" 1>&6
fi
if [ -r ~vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a -a ! `$HOW_TO_CHECK_LIBVERSION`
]
then
echo "" 1>&6
echo "$ac_n""found an old version... Please upgrade to VPopmail
5.xx" 1>&6
fi
fi
else
echo "" 1>&6
echo "$ac_n""not found... Please install VPopmail or check your
installation" 1>&6
