From: Jim Wright on 13 Apr 2010 00:32 I'm setting up a new server completely from scratch on Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.3, trying to compile Postfix 2.7. During make, I get this: In file included from dns_lookup.c:152: dns.h:23:29: error: nameser8_compat.h: No such file or directory make: *** [dns_lookup.o] Error 1 make: *** [update] Error 1 I haven't seen this come up on the list yet, so I wanted to report this here. A google search found a suggested fix, in /src/util/ sys_defs.h, the following line should be commented out: #define RESOLVE_H_NEEDS_NAMESER8_COMPAT_H With this line commented out, I'm able to get a good build. My question is, should I be worried about screwing something up having this line commented out? I'm sure it's there for a reason. (grin) Thanks.

Mac OS X 10.6 no longer has an include file named nameser8_compat.h. The equivalent file seems to be arpa/nameser_compat.h. Updating the dns.h file (line 23) to include this file instead results in a good build. It may be another day or so before I'm able to put this server online to test.

What is the output from the following commands on this machine? uname -s uname -r uname -v I will use this to update the makedefs script, so that it can distinguish between MacOS versions and pass the right information to the C compiler. Simply uncommenting a line in <sys_defs.h> would break Postfix on earlier MacOS versions. Wietse
