I'm afraid that's easier said than done. Debian as a rule uses older
packages in their stable version. I just tried to install 1.1.rc5, but
can't:
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not
found
Directory: ~/downloads/dovecot-1.1.rc5
$ locate libmysqlclient
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0
Long story short...I don't have the time to make individual
customizations to the system so that one program will work only if I
make wholesale changes to the sytem. If this would have been a
simple .configure, make, make-install, then I'd do it. But it looks
like I'm going to have to upgrade mysql, which will require other manual
upgrades.
