[Dovecot] problems compiling

[Imre Gergely]

hi

i downloaded dovecot-1.0.beta1.tar.gz, did a rpmbuild -ta
dovecot-1.0.beta1.tar.gz (which uses the dovecot.spec from the tar.gz), and got
the following:

Making install in quota
make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/gimre/rpm2/BUILD/dovecot-1.0.beta1/src/plugins/quota'
make[4]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/gimre/rpm2/BUILD/dovecot-1.0.beta1/src/plugins/quota'
mkdir -p -- /usr/lib/dovecot/imap /usr/lib/dovecot/lda
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/dovecot': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/dovecot': Permission denied
make[4]: *** [install-exec-local] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/gimre/rpm2/BUILD/dovecot-1.0.beta1/src/plugins/quota'
make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2

so everything did compile alright, but it has some problems with installing the
plugins. and i dunno why it tries to create those directories in the root
directory. of course i'm compiling it as a non-root users, so it doesn't have
any write permissions. and it normally shouldn't have to do an install in
directories other then buildroot.

so what's the catch? if i disable from the src/Makefile.in to not compile the
plugins, everything works fine, i got a nice rpm file. i'm on Fedora Core 4.

any help would be appreciated. thx.
