by I'm having a problem compiling smail. I've followed the Install file
but to no avail. I would be grateful if anybody out there would shine
a light on where I'm going wrong. I'm pretty much new to Linux so
help would be appricated.
I have edited the EDITME file in /conf to suite. If you look at
the output when it tries to enter into the necessary subdirectories it
gives me a '--wk' option error. I have looked and looked and cannot
find any entry in the files containing this '--wk' option error.
I'm using Slackware 3.0 (ELF release) Kernel 1.2.13
Diectory pathname /usr/src/smail-3.1.29.1
