Hi Timo and others,
Thanks for Dovecot! I just got it running under Red Hat 9.0 after spending many hours unsuccessfully trying to get Courier IMAP to run, although I have done it in the past. Here is a compilation glitch which may already be well known:
I compiled dovecot-0.99.9.1 on my newly installed and recently updated (via Red Hat Network) system and the compilation stopped due to a missing file in the SSL headers:
In file included from /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h:179, from ssl-proxy-openssl.c:14: /usr/include/openssl/kssl.h:72:18: krb5.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/include/openssl/ssl.h:179, from ssl-proxy-openssl.c:14:
The currently installed OpenSSL RPM was openssl-0.9.7a-5. This lacks the file /usr/include/openssl/krb5.h . I understand that openssl-0.9.7b is OK, but I wasn't sure about whether installing this as a tarball from http://www.openssl.org would upset any other programs on this machine, or confuse the RHN update system.
I didn't really need SSL and I couldn't see a specific option for disabling it, other than a general instruction about disabling modules with a ./configure option. So I tried ./configure --help and compiled it with:
./configure --without-ssl
This worked fine. I really like the report at the end of the ./configure stage saying how the program will be compiled!
