vpopmail.c is missing the #include line for the
variable argument function code. The reason is the
orignal BSD code didn't have varargs, so it got bolted
on. Meaning the va_start() function isn't declared in
the "now standard" #include <stdarg.h> file.
On your solaris 8 machine please do a:
man va_start
and report back what header files it requires.
Check vpopmail.c and make sure it has those
headers in there.
On Linux va_start is in #include <stdarg.h>
void va_start( va_list ap, last);
type va_arg( va_list ap, type);
void va_end( va_list ap);
