this warning doesn't stop the binary from being compiled. ignore it.

Thanks.  That caused me to dig deeper into the problem(s) I was having.

It turned out to be a problem with the certificate.  I compiled a 
certificate that required a password, so it was requesting a password every 
time I attempted to connect to qpopper, since I configured qpopper to only 
accept SSL connections.
