I should note, I do not build a ton of software by hand, so I
struggle, and try to learn as best as I can. If I am not clear, let
me know, if I need to read or research more, let me know.

Well, that's the first I've heard of this. Have you tried compiling
any other program that has a configure script built by autoconf?
Seems like all of them would be broken and maybe a better list would
be some autoconf-related mailing list.
Primarily, I have used MacPorts often, so that is where 90% of the
built apps are. In the majority of those cases, it is just calling ./
configure and doing some record keeping.
On this machine, I have built outside of Macports, mrtg, which needed
iirc, some GD stuff. In my efforts to get ASSP working, ~10 perl
modules, not using CPAN, but using ./configure.
- This was a total wild effort here, but I commented out the lines
that did the date check and the ls -t check and got much further, but
ended up bailing out on a could not find DC config file. This was my
error, I did not download the DC sources to this machine.
After doing the right thing and downloading the DC sources...
dovecot-1.2.rc4 $./configure

Do you have any NFS or other remote filesystems enabled?
No, just a lowly MacBook on wifi at the moment. I have several other
servers in production I am going to give this a quick go on just to be
sure it is not this particular machine.
