Re: ./configure fails, cannot find libmilter?

[Tony Shadwick]

The plot thickens.  After seeing that error in the config.log, I did a
ranlib /usr/lib/libmilter.a.  Suddenly ./configure succeeds.  Cool, then I
get this:

[erwin:local/src/spamass-milter-0.1.3a] numbski# make install
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -g -O2  -c -o spamass-milter.o `test
-f spamass-milter.cpp || echo './'`spamass-milter.cpp
spamass-milter.cpp:81:18: poll.h: No such file or directory
spamass-milter.cpp: In member function `void SpamAssassin::output(const
void*,
   long int)':

spamass-milter.cpp:824: `poll' undeclared (first use this function)

When it rains...I tell ya.  This all build beautifully on FreeBSD.  Go
over to MacOS X and I get this stuff. :P
