looks to me  like something not right is amiss..anyway i let it run, then

Those messages are generated by procmail's autoconf script which is just
checking to see whether your system is missing something that procmail
will have to emulate and which kernel-locking methods are functional.


when i checked the procmail binary, i saw this at the end of the file:

"procmail" [Incomplete last line] 449 lines, 82088 characters (23337 null)

Um, yes.  procmail is a binary, not a text file.  You don't open
binaries in vi, but rather run them.  If you try it, you'll find that
practically every binary on the system has an 'incomplete last line'.
All that means is the last character in the file is not a newline.

The real question is: what's the output of
        path/to/procmail -v
