THNKS! for replying to my message:
I have attached the install output file.
THNKS! again,

That's not an error message but rather a report that
procmail will be
configured not to bother reallocating repeatedly,
since on your system it
won't do any good.

There must be some other reason for that; I've
compiled many versions of
procmail over the years on systems where repeated
reallocation was deemed
inefficient.

It doesn't mean that, but something else is in the
way. Are there any other
warnings? Can you share the whole script outptut of
the compilation
process?

==============================================================================
In order for the kernel-locking tests to work as intended I have to be able to
test-lock files on as many semantically different filesystems as possible (for
more information about this, READ PARAGRAPH TWO in INSTALL). To suppress this
prompt you can set the LOCKINGTEST variable in the Makefile.
Please add writable directories to the list. You should only add directories
that reside on filesystems that have unique characteristics. E.g. if you have
several remote NFS partitions, pick some unique client-server pairs, there is
little use in picking the same server twice from the same client-machine.
An excellent candidate would be a remotely mounted mail spool directory.
==============================================================================
I will temporarily use a testdirectory named _locktest
in the following directories:
/tmp .
