Very easy. Make Postfix obey the port path, when obtaining header files and linking components. It should get everything from the system location, or it should get everything from the default location. The most likely scenario is that the include path is not being overridden, even when the library path is. This is most likely due to a bug in the GNU configure script. The best way around those bugs is "do not use GNU configure". > FYI, FreeBSD is not the only OS on which this problem has been found to > exist. Debian Linux is experience the same problem.

FWIW: this confirms that it's a Postfix problem. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
