Milter-greylist

Hi,

I want to be able to do this:

http://milter-greylist.wikidot.com/geoip

I'm using EL5 (a Red Hat 5 derivative) and when I try to compile (from spec)
it comes back with:

checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no
checking for pthread_create in -lc_r... no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthreads -lpthread... no
Required libpthread not found. Use --with-libpthread
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.55653 (%build)

Any ideas what packages I need to install to make milter-greylist compile with
GeoIP support?

Thanks.

Michael.

Hi,

Ignore the below, I just solved it by installing:

geoip
geoip-devel 

from RPMforge. The geoip-devel supplied the requires library to allow compilation.

Now to the setup phase :)

Michael.

There are milter-greylist RPMs you could rebuild for EL5 :

<http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=milter-greylist>

Most Fedora RPMs can be rebuilt with small effort if there are no  
EPEL RPMs.

<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>

Install the rpmdevtools package

<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/ 
rpmdevtools.html>
( there is a x86_64 set of packages too )

If you try to build a SRPM, it should bark at you about installing  
the needed packages, and that takes care of issues like this.

I think building from SRPMs is easier than building from tarballs.  
especially long-term considering upgrades and updates.
