You don't mention which distroy and the bitness... BUT...

That is exactly the issue I had... on Kubuntu 14.04.5 *64b*

CM II is/was written with only a - > *32b* < - world in mind..

What you need to do is,

Download this:

eljaco.se/FILES/Billing/cm071linux.zip

Then unzip it

In there will be a bin/ directory

@fidodev:~/cmzip$ unzip -l cm071linux\(1\).zip
Archive:  cm071linux(1).zip

This will have precompiled versions of the CM II 0.71 version.

These WILL RUN on *64b* systems and export messages, and not corrupt the message base.

Do NOT use the versions in the *buntu repos... they are useless, and suffer the same bitness problems.

They will compile on 64b systems, and then totally fail and corrupt things when run.

DO the above, and still have issues, please let me know..

I will be glad to help and provide info.

I am using CMII 0.71 and JamNNTPd on Ubuntu 14.04.5
