[slackintosh-users] Re: Upgrading glibc

I had the same issue with Slackintosh 11.0 and postfix 2.4.0.

The makedef script of postfix checks if the current system is running a
2.6 kernel (epoll was not supported on linux < 2.6). If it does,
postfix will build epoll support.

Well: Slackintosh 2.6 uses a 2.6 kernel, but due to stability issues
glibc was compiled using linux 2.4-headers.

Even if your kernel has epoll support, the Slackintosh glibc does not
support it.


There are 2 solutions:

#1 Upgrade to -current. Epoll works fine there
#2 Compile postfix with -DNO_EPOLL

 Adrian
