One thing the RedHat tech said. (Yes I have a bug in bugzilla as while I am talking with you guys.) He said that he was able to recreate the problem. Here is what he had to say: ************************************************************ Ah ha. I bet you are rebuilding the SRPM as a user, rather than as root? The bug is that the search path isn't being traversed correctly; the configure script is actually only looking in $PATH for the sendmail binary. (this is a bug, it is programmed to look in /usr/sbin and a few other places too, but the correct code isn't being genereated) Additional comment by joel@webbgroup.net on 2002-11-22 09:56:29 I am doing everything as root. Or should I say as su-root not reloggin in as the root user. But then again, that is a bad habit of constructing everything by loggin is as root all the time. The only way I was able to force it to work. To put this in the spec file above the listing. We will see how far we get. # Put the sendmail directory in # # # PROG_SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin": export PROG_SENDMAIL ******************************************************************* On 21 Nov 2002, Gordon Messmer wrote: > On Thu, 2002-11-21 at 15:23, Joel Webb wrote: > > > > Gordon and all.
