Try adding:
--with-moduledir=/usr/lib/dovecot/modules
when calling configure. That fixed this for me.
It seems to me when need to fix the default value of moduledir to not confilict with the libdir (or libexecdir).

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

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.
