Hi there,
I'm learning POSTFIX(SMTP server) and attempting to construct POSTFIX.
But I start Debian Etch a couple days ago, so I am struggling now.
Then I can not use "mail" command, so I install the package "mailutils".
However it doesn't seem to work, like failure. After installing mailutils,
I tried to install the package "libmailutils" relation of mailutils. And
it doesn't work,too. And mail command doesn't work,too.
I think it has some troubles of libraries.

Now I am confused and don't know the source of the troubles.
Anybody helps me.

Best regards,

***mail command***
osaka9:~# mail postman@osaka9.infonic.local
mail: error while loading shared libraries: libmu_mbox.so.1: cannot open

shared object file: No such file or directory

you can use:

$ ldd /usr/bin/mail

to get a listing of what libraries 'mail' is linked against and try to install the appropriate libs. But your first worry my be about resolving those install issues while installing packages - I'm not a debian person but those don't look good.

Hi,
Thanks for your advise.
I tried to use 'ldd' command, and then I found some unlinked files.
But I don't know how to fix them.
Please tell me how to fix them.

Best regards,
