| There was somewhere a thread containing courier-authlib and AMD64 with
- -fPIC
| around in the last days. It was called "compile "vpopmail" with -fPIC on
| x86_64". I am not sure if these guys found a solution because on my
AMD64 it
| works without any problems (I am using an older version) and because
of this
| I didn't follow this thread...
| There is one thing which makes me thinking that the mentioned thread
_could_
| be the wrong one for you... This is based on one of the error-messages
you
| posted: " /var/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a: could not read symbols: Bad
value"
| Did you already install vpopmail? IMHO courier needs some
vpopmail-libraries.
| Because of the fact, that I installed the whole thing last time about
1 year
| ago, I currently don't really remember the order of installations. But
maybe
| it's a point to have a look for...
| Btw: IMHO the ebuilds for qmail, vpopmail and courier provided by Gentoo
| aren't very good. After having some troubles while using them, I
installed
| these thing completely by hand.
| <irony>
| Maybe you want to ask Jeremy Kitchen from Inter7 for his opinion about
the
| mentioned ebuilds.
| </irony>
| NB: Jeremy IS using Gentoo and very deep into qmail, vpopmail and these
| things...
|

Yes.  Jeremy got me using Gentoo as well.  What you learn very quickly
is that ebuilds aren't so great for certian things.  You should avoid
the qmail, vpopmail, etc ebuilds like the plague.  As far as the courier
option, you probably should edit the Makefile, and add -fPIC to the
compiler options.

Good luck!
