Trying to make postfix with SASL and MYSQL, but "file: could not find any valid magic files!" is stopping make?

[mtrcycllvr]

Hello!

My ancient freebsd13 mail host stop being able to receive emails this week, so the long delayed upgrade to 15-RELEASE has been ongoing is sort of panic mode..

When I try to compile postfix to support mysql and sasl I'm getting the following errors that I don't understand.. (be patient with me - an accident a few years ago left me a little brain damaged to my undending dissapointment..)

I have thrown myself at this for some time now and while my MX piles up mail, I just can't seem to figure this out..

I'm just sitting here repeating myself over and over and getting headache - time to reach out to those who know!

I'm 100% certain this is something stupid, but my broken brain isn't doing me any favors today..

Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Oh, I can get the static postfix package to install, but I need BOTH sasl and mysql support, and as I sort of recall, doing a make config, selecting mysql and sasl and "make install" was all I did on the vesion 13 host.. (oh, then locked the package. Worked for over a decade!!)
