Hi,

I'm using Dovecot 1.2.9. I configured it like this:

% ./configure --prefix=/opt/rt --libdir=/opt/rt/lib
--libexecdir=/opt/rt/lib [other args...]

It compiled fine, but failed to install, because it tries to install a directory called <libdir>/dovecot/imap, and a file called <libexecdir>/dovecat/imap, which obviously doesn't work when libdir and libexecdir are the same directory:

gmake[5]: Entering directory /home/river/hp-pkg/mail/dovecot/work/dovecot-1.2.9/src/plugins/imap-acl' gmake[5]: Nothing to be done for install-exec-am'. test -z "/opt/rt/lib/dovecot/imap" || /opt/rt/bin/gmkdir -p "/home/river/hp-pkg/mail/dovecot/install/opt/rt/lib/dovecot/imap" /opt/rt/bin/gmkdir: cannot create directory `/home/river/hp-pkg/mail/dovecot/install/opt/rt/lib/dovecot/imap': File exists gmake[5]: *** [install-imap_moduleLTLIBRARIES] Error 1

As a workaround I used --libexecdir=/opt/rt/lib/dovecot/libexec, but perhaps one of the conflicting files could be moved or renamed. (On System Vish platforms, e.g. Solaris and HP-UX, 'libexec' isn't used -- files that other systems put into 'libexec' go into 'lib'.)

- river.
