Re: Unable to install both Samba and Claws-Mail

I have "default_database_type = lmdb" in my Postfix 'main.cf' file. So
far, it appears to be working; however, I have not tried to rebuild
it. This is a serious mess that someone should have caught before the
changes were released. I would have thought you could build a static
version of 'lmdb', place it in a different folder, and point to it in
the 'makefile'.

Ciao,
Jerry
