k, figured it out ......

copied the libmilter directory I created from sendmail source to the /usr/lib directory (ie /usr/lib/libmilter), then copied the include/libmilter directory into /usr/include directory (ie /usr/include/libmilter).

All works!!!

Here is the path to

/var/files/rpm/other_files/sendmail-8.13.1/include/libmilter/mfapi.h

Tell configure about that path by setting LDFLAGS="-L/var/files/rpm/other_files/sendmail-8.13.1/obj.Linux.2.6.8.1-12mdksmp.i686/libmilter/"
before running configure, or as you run it:

LDFLAGS="-L/var/blah/blah" ./configure

Hi Dan,

Grabbed the source and created the libmilter.a file.  Hereis the path...
/var/files/rpm/other_files/sendmail-8.13.1/obj.Linux.2.6.8.1-12mdksmp.i686/libmilter/libmilter.a

Here is the config.log info;
configure:7084: checking for mi_stop in -lmilter
configure:7114: g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -fno-default-inline -fno-inline -pthread   conftest.cc -lmilter    >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmilter
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:7120: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */

Thanks, the Mandrake installation installs the milter support but does not install the library files and I can't seem to find any source packages.  I am trying to source these.....

Sorry; the file to check is config.log, not configure.log.

It's possible sendmail was built with milter support but Mandrake didn't install the milter library itself.  Check and see if you have a libmilter.a file anywhere on the system, and if not, install it (hopefully mandrake provided a sendmail-milter rpm or whatever format it uses).

If you do have a libmilter file, please give me the location of the file on your system and paste in the part of configure.log just after "checking for mi_stop in -lmilter...".  There should be a gcc command and a link error.

I am trying to install the spamass-milter on Mandrake 10.1 with sendmail 8.13 which has Milter support;
sendmail -d0 < /dev/null | grep MILTER
 Compiled with: DNSMAP LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8

 The config file keeps on stopping at the following error;
checking for mi_stop in -lmilter... no
checking for library containing strlcpy... no
checking for mi_stop in -lmilter... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmilter

How do I get around this to continue the installation?

Thanks

Gordon
