Yup, I got that initially too but didn't get the rquota code included  
in the build: I checked by searching the quota-fs.o file for "RPC"...

     strings quota-fs.o | grep RPC

The string should be present if the rquota code got included.

I'm not familiar with the intricacies of GNU Autoconf etc but managed  
to work out that I need to do the following in the top level of the  
Dovecot source tree (above the src directory):

     autoconf
     autoheader
     automake

If you omit the autoheader step you have configure detect that rquota  
is available, but HAVE_RQUOTA still doesn't get defined: grep the  
config.h file to check whether this is the case.

The autoheader step takes config.h.in and builds config.h, which then  
includes the HAVE_RQUOTA definition.  Compiling your source then works.

Aside:  Can someone confirm whether I'm running these three utilities  
in the
         correct order?

Once you get the code included you may find that, like I did, the  
code compiles but refuses to run.  I'll try and work out a patch to  
the Makefile to build the xdr file that needs including (but, as I  
said before, I've never used the GNU autoconf stuff before so forgive  
me if I get it wrong!).

Cheers,
Mike B-)
