On Mac OS X 10.4.2 it appears the relevant structure is defined in
<arpa/nameser_compat.h>.

Same here on Linux - and it's included from arpa/nameser.h.

FWIW, I read the headers again. On Mac OS X 10.4.2 it is defined in   
<arpa/nameser_compat.h> or <arpa_nameser8_compat.h>.

The latter appears to only be included by <apra/nameser.h> if  
BIND_8_COMPAT us defined.

Adding -DBIND_8_COMPAT to the CFLAGS also seems to solve the problem.

Ah well. I wonder if fetchmail is using some "down deep" BIND interface
it should not be meddling with.

3. what config.log contains about res_search

Is this the output you are looking for?

configure:8288: checking for res_search
configure:8345: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c  >&5
configure:8351: $? = 0
configure:8355: test -z
             || test ! -s conftest.err
configure:8358: $? = 0
configure:8361: test -s conftest
configure:8364: $? = 0
configure:8376: result: yes

configure:8391: checking for res_search

#define HAVE_RES_SEARCH 1

Yup. res_search is in -lc on Darwin, -lresolv on others. So apparently
some header and library information don't match. I find this MX lookup
gear ugly as the night and it's not as useful any more as it used to be.

I'll review all this later when I can peek around the corners in Darwin
on a kind person's system :)

I presume if I get this fixed, it breaks again on Solaris...

Kind regards,
