I misinterpreted the qpopper INSTALL instructions and created the directory
/usr/local/lib/popper. That is the location I copiled the qpopper source.
My next mistake was setting the line in inetd.conf to
/usr/local/lib/popper popper -s,
which is a directory. It worked when I changed the line to be
/usr/local/lib/popper/popper popper -s.
Thanks to Daniel Benson and Robert L. McMillin
