Hi, I tried remove and make install, same err happended. I noticed from the log below, it first generate the "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" with checkpassword-reply, and it is success, the coming generation directory for auth at "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/", it is weird that the make install generation for file auth and directory auth at same path. It is causing the issues.

Hi, I'm recompiling dovecot 2.2.0/2.2.1 with error below during make install:
test -z "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" || /usr/bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" /usr/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth’: File exists This file shouldn't exist.
The target Svr OS: OpenSuse 12.2 x86 and installed success for qmail/vpopmail. The configuration for dovecot as below: ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/dovecot
--with-vpopmail
--with-docs
--with-ssl
--without-shadow
--without-pam
--without-ldap
--without-pgsql
--without-sql
--without-mysql
--without-sqlite I think there's an older differently installed Dovecot in there. rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot/lib and try make install again.
