Just in case it is:

Go to the directory containing the sources of mbsebbs-1.0.6

make clean

../configure
make > build.log 2>build.err

less build.err

Now see if you have any error messages and likewise warnings to make sure that
none are important.

In my case I have warning regarding case, defererencing, and time-t and a fair
few if computed or referenced but unused.

These are not causing me any noticable issues. Been there for yonks anyway.
Oh, I run under Mageia v4 X64.


With that done now check build.log and go to the end and that should look 
clear
as well.

If you are getting any error messages you must act on them.

If all is well install it via
su
make install

Then exit the terminal prog and reload it and log in to user mbse and restart
mbtask. IF neede stop then start - in my case its a :
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed start

You must not get error messages also see INSTALL and read the Upgrading
section to ensure you have not missed anything.

One small point - I use Golded and it sometimes causes me problems that
written messages vanish and/or do not get processed by mbfido s (or with -f).

This could be a curruption of the message base and the issue is usually with
netmail so I just delete the lot in my netmail areas having coping them to
another area if really needed but tend to avoid that just in case.

Must find another editor sometime.
