My libmilter.a (why is this a static library?) is in /usr/lib64/libmilter.a, not /usr/lib/libmilter.a. My /usr/lib is not a symlink to /usr/lib64 because it doesn't have to be (AFAIK).

Still exists in newer versions. The fix seems pretty straightforward?

Comment 4 Eray Aslan gentoo-dev

Added without a revbump:

+  18 Apr 2011; Eray Aslan <eras@gentoo.org> amavisd-new-2.6.5.ebuild:
+  use get_libdir for helper-progs - bug #281981
+

But you should really be using the amavisd-milter package by Petr Rehor.  >=net-mail/amavisd-new-2.7.0 will be dropping the milter support.

Check bug #318853 for amavisd-milter.  The ebuild looks OK.
