I just downloaded and installed procmail-3.15.1, and had a problem installing
it on Solaris 2.7. The "make" went fine, as did the "make install". After
that, I got no mail, no log entries...nothing.
I finally tracked it down in a Mail Delivery Notification message:
----- The following addresses had transient non-fatal errors -----
"|IFS=' '&&p=/home/mcmaster/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -f-||exit
75#mcmaster"
(expanded from: <mcmaster(_at_)falcon(_dot_)stortek(_dot_)com>)
----- Transcript of session follows -----

Will keep trying until message is 3 days old
Procmail could not find libgen.so.1. I removed the "-lgen" from the
"SEARCHLIBS", recompiled and all my mail came flooding in. Note this cames
after a warning not to touch things below unless "you *think* you know what
you are doing". I didn't, so did not change anything.
This was fairly easy to find and fix, but isn't there a way for the install
to verify the existence of these files rather than silently generating a
module that won't run?
