Hey,

Here's what worked for me on CentOS 5.4:

yum install db4-devel

and

yum install cyrus-sasl-devel

Then did:

./build exim

Using custombuild 1.2.

I have Debian Lenny 5.0.3 running on 2.6.26-2-686

I was getting these errors in my exim mainlog:

Code: 
queue run: process 17212 crashed with signal 11 while delivering 1NyXbV-0006OI-8g

and in /var/log/syslog

Code: 
kernel: [1906442.112200] exim[17199]: segfault at 1820169a ip 1820169a sp bf83a740 error 4

I can confirm that this update has fixed the segfault log entries (so far).

The instructions to install in the first post worked with the apt-get

Step 1:

Code: 
apt-get install libperl-dev libsasl2-dev libdb4.5-dev

Step 2:

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set custombuild 1.2
./build update_script
./build update
./build set exim yes

echo "exim:4.71:25553818dca33df06f068cafb1e0e8e8" >> versions.txt

(change version.txt afterward, by deleting 4.6* or 4.7* line)

wget ftp://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4/exim-4.71.tar.gz

./build exim

should result in this:

Code: 
Configuration file /etc/exim.conf already exists

Exim installation complete
Moving exim binary.
Exim 4.71 Installed.
Restarting exim.
Shutting down exim: 
Starting exim:

then tail your mainlog to see if you get anymore errors

Code: 
tail -f /var/log/exim/mainlog
 
FreeBSD 5.x


/usr/ports/security/cyrus-sasl2 was the fix, works fine now.

One trick is to remove the dependency with cyrus-sasl and to use dovecot for the SMTP authentification. Works like a charm.

Upgrade libtool to 2.2 to solve the problem.
