Sorry if I missed any posts (I'm catching up on the MIMEDefang list now)
but I got this also, with Fedora Core 2 x86_64 -- could the x86_64 be
the common factor in people who are seeing this?

What I'm discovering about Perl under FC2 x86_64 is that things seem
to be split between /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. I suspect what I have
is that MIMEDefang's configure is finding /usr/lib for some of the
paths it's searching for, but the module is installed under /usr/lib64
(or vice-versa).

Using --disable-check-perl-modules at least fixed the warning, but I
haven't gotten as far as seeing it all work yet. Also I had to use
--with-milterlib=/usr/lib64 (since that's where libmilter.a is on
FC2 x86_64).
