I failed to apply patch but replacement of CMU_SASL2 above LIBS=...
fixes the problem. Thank you.

Yup.

BTW, I've noticed that argus-client checks for static GeoIP library.
It's very possible that in Gentoo we'll drop most static libraries and
since argus-client uses dynamic linking I think it's better to check
using standard AC_CHECK* macroses. What do you think about patch in
attachment? It just modifies some tests since some shells do not support
negation of return status and adds check with AC_CHECK* at the top of
all libGeoIP tests.

Thank _you_ for taking a look at this. BTW, argus{,-client}-3.0.2 are in
dev directory. Does this mean that this is development version and we
should use 3.0.0 in Gentoo or is 3.0.2 a safe choice? Also could you
send me patch for this problem or does there exist some VCS (version
control system) repository with argus packages so I'll grub patch from
there?

I saw your mail while googled for any suggestions to get around my
problems. Heh, but I don't know what PPS means (I suppose this is apple
specific thing, but I'm not sure). Any way for me it's still
questionable why sasl2 ignores argus configuration and still uses
auxprop plugin. Heh, I'll try to get back to this problem soon.

Thank you very much for your help, Carter.
