[msmtp-users] Please help: 'configure' can't find GnuTLS although installed

[mynewsaccount@...135...]

My mail provider (GMX) tells me that in a few days they will refuse logging in with APOP or CRAM-MD5. I am to please switch to SSL or TLS, according to their mail.

As I am currently running msmtp 1.4.13 and in the login procedure see that msmtp logs in using CRAM-MD5, I understand I will have to upgrade... or am I wrong?

I'm running openSUSE 10.3, and I can't find an rpm to upgrade msmtp that will work without major conflicts (like updating glibc and several more). So I'm trying to install the tar.bz2.

Here's my problem:

configure can't find the GnuTLS 1.6.1 or openSSL 0.9.7g that I do have installed, in spite of trying to point it the right way with ./configure  --with-libgnutls-prefix=/usr/lib64, and I'm just not good enough at shell programming to tweak configure accordingly.

As it is, both libgnutls-extra.so.13.2.2 and its brothers and libcrypto.so.0.9.7/libssl.so.0.9.7 all reside in /usr/lib64, the binaries are in /usr/bin64. 

Can someone please please help me how to compile msmtp with its TLS options on? Or can I right things with appropriate symlinks (where to?)

I fear I risk losing the delicate mail setup that I have been using for many years, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a great lot in advance -
