1. my makefile does look like this.

2. i browse the web and found that -lresolv searches for the library libresolv.so and that i have that libresolv-2.3.6.so in my /lib

3. I also have libcrypto, /usr/include/openssl…

4. I tried to go further with the error message and it says in (bad) english there’s a problem converting negative value to unsigned int or char…
I look in dkimverify.cpp and all lines that are mentionned in my error message refer contains a “-1″… Hope this could help.

i forgot to say i am under Gentoo Linux.
Don’t know if it really maters.

What can i check / do next ?

ifdef LINUX
CFLAGS = -c
LFLAGS =
LIBS = -lcrypto -lresolv
else
…

I tried this on my (french) server with libdkim 1.0.19 and i also have a error after
make LINUX=y

Also tried with 1.0.17 but the error is it can’t find getcwd.

First question : do i have to patch this version 1.0.19 ?
2nd : Have i missed something or am I doing something wrong ?

Hope you could help.

Have fun!

Try again:
tr -d “\\15″
tr -d ‘\15′

Thanks for the additional patch for the recent OpenSSL. I usually try to keep just one copy of libraries on the system to make updates and maintenance simple. I’ve had some nightmare cases in the past where I couldn’t tell what was linked to which copy, and wanted to avoid that.

For the ‘tr’ part, I found the formats below work. Double slash is needed with double quotes, otherwise single slash with single quotes:

tr -d “\15″
tr -d ‘15′

David.

note the double slashes there

with just one slash will delete every 1 and 5 in the message . but with double slashes it will strip CR chars ( ASCII dec 13, oct 015 ) . this is required by qmail to work correctly.
