Milter-greylist

I have the libspf2 and libspf2-devel RPM's installed on my servers (RHEL4
based). I use the milter-greylist.spec and add a section in there as:

%define libspf2 1
%{?build_libspf2:%define libspf2 1}

and then further down:

%if %{libspf2}
        --with-libspf2=/usr/lib
%endif

which allows me to use:

rpmbuild -bb milter-greylist.spec

to build the RPM with dnsrbl and spf support.

When building the RPM, I see the:

--enable-dnsrbl
--with-libspf2=/usr/lib

which is part of the line:

+ ./configure --build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-user=root
--enable-dnsrbl --with-libspf2=/usr/lib

Once I install the RPM and run milter-greylist, the very first message it
processes bombs it out ie. milter-greylist crashes.

When I disable libspf2 support, milter-greylist works fine.

Have no idea why.

Am I correct in defining /usr/lib as the source?

This is what the RPM's have:

# rpm -ql libspf2
/usr/lib/libspf2.so.2

Any advice?

Hmm.. thanks for this tip, if I do end up getting the spf support working,
I'll make sure I do this too.
