On advice/recommendation received on this list, I removed version 1.0.15 with:
rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot
However, now that I have version 2 properly installed, configured, and ready to start testing with Postfix, it appears the old version is still in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libexec, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/shared/doc. Thinking that anything in /usr/local is something that was installed s a result of having built it from source (which 1.0.15 definitely was), should these also be removed?
Have you done *make distclean* in prior? That should remove all things dovecot.

I mean, in the source directory.

You mean in the directory where files from the tar were placed? I've unfortunately removed those manually, but then I put them back and tried the make again, still same error. "make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.

I haven't yet compiled dovecot by myself but with wine it's 'make uninstall' clean and distclean only apply to the build source tree itself but aren't the reverse of 'make install' That's at least how it should be
I would install again, then run a make distclean. On 12 Jun 2015 19:29, "Felix Zielcke" fzielcke@z-51.de wrote:

I still haven't gotten any make commands to work, but I did successfully rename the four directories to something else I could easily find, and the new version does attempt to start.

No, because I didn't know about that one. I'll do that forthwith, and thanks.
