[Dovecot] configure: error: unrecognized option: --docdir=/usr/share/doc/dovecot-2.0.11

Dear Timo,

You are very top. I found the the newer version of autoconf via
http://rpmfind.remotelan.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=autoconf.
After upgrading it, I can rebuild the rpms.

But when I install the rpms, it failed again.

[root at testmail SPECS]# rpm -ivh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/dovecot-2.0.11-1_126.x86_64.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/dovecot-devel-2.0.11-1_126.x86_64.rpm

Is there any one met the same problem like this ?

Please advise me and thank you in advance.
