the line in configure.in that contained AC_CHECK_HEADERS(unistd.h) i changed
it to AC_CHECK_HEADERS(unistd.h sys/varargs.h).

in vpopmail.c i added the above code.

that file is present.

my config.h does not that HAVE_SYSVARARGS_H. do i need to do anything to
config.h?

basically heres what i did:
changed AC_CHECK_HEADERS(unistd.h) to AC_CHECK_HEADERS(unistd.h
sys/varargs.h)
added:
#ifdef HAVE_SYS_VARARGS_H
#include <sys/varargs.h>
#endif
to vpopmail.c.
i tried to compile and it gave me these errors:
gcc -I. -I/usr/include -g -O2 -Wall -c vpopmail.c
vpopmail.c: In function `vadddotqmail':
vpopmail.c:1760: `__builtin_va_alist' undeclared (first use in this
function)
vpopmail.c:1760: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
vpopmail.c:1760: for each function it appears in.)

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/install/vpopmail-5.0'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
then i changed vpopmail.c to just:
#include <sys/varargs.h>
and tried to compile again. errors:
gcc -I. -I/usr/include -g -O2 -Wall -c vpopmail.c
