My system complains about the compiling of the Wrapper program: something about a comparison between pointer and integer and a couple of other compile-time errors. The Makefile from the 1.93 release also chokes on my system. It fails to do some of the copying it is supposed to do. I have hacked it somewhat, but still cannot get it to work. I followed the Makefile and copied the files manually (ugh!). Double checked all the configuration files, and still get the error back from the Wrapper program that I should re-compile with POSIX options. Even tried that.. still the same error. About to give up... If you do find a FreeBSD port of Majordomo, I would really like to share it with you.
