hi

i have downloaded the dovecot 1.2.7 source when i tried to compile with ldap support it gives the error "configure: error: Can't build with LDAP support: libldap not found". i am attaching the log file with this mail. i want to use it with latest apacheDS.

This usually means that no shared library with the name "libldap*.so" is in your library search path. Check your /etc/ld.so.sonf (and maybe ld.so.conf.d/*) for the search path of your linker and verify that you have the required LDAP shared library in place. If not, you need to install that first - either from your distribution tree or you compile e.g. OpenLDAP by hand.
