Hi,
I already compiled/installed dovecot 2.2.0 as you did without any problems. Also compiling dovecot 2.2.1 and installing it on top of the previous 2.2.0 install works.
So it seems to me that this is an issue related to your system environment. Did you checked how your Suse installation behaves when you are manually trigger the same commands?
---%<--------------------------------------------------------------- test -z "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" || /usr/bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" ---%<---------------------------------------------------------------
Did you checked filesystem permissions too?
Regards, Chris

mkdir -p silently succeeds if the directory already exists, so this must mean that some part of that path already exists as a file rather than a directory.

Hi, I tried remove and make install, same err happended. I noticed from the log below, it first generate the "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" with checkpassword-reply, and it is success, the coming generation directory for auth at "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/", it is weird that the make install generation for file auth and directory auth at same path. It is causing the issues.

These files should be installed under libexec; probably /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot, though I'm not sure how autoconf chooses the libexec directory when you're using an explicit prefix. What do the following give you (in the top-level Dovecot source dir)?
grep ^libexecdir config.log
grep ^exec_prefix config.log
grep ^prefix config.logBen
The output as below:
grep ^libexecdir config.log libexecdir='${exec_prefix}/lib'
grep ^exec_prefix config.log exec_prefix='${prefix}'
grep ^prefix config.log prefix='/usr/local/dovecot'

Hi, yes, the configure without "--libexecdir" .

Since neither that comment nor that code appear anywhere in the Dovecot 2.2.1 tarball, I have to assume you're using a patched version from a SRPM or something. It would have been helpful to mention that; also helpful to try with the unpatched version before posting.
Whoever patched that code in either didn't understand that Dovecot needs lib and libexec to be different, or had a workaround of some kind. I would recommend using the real 2.2.1 sources from dovecot.org instead.

That installation will not work, you've just tricked install(1) into not giving you an error. Dovecot needs ${libexecdir}/dovecot/auth to be an executable: it's one of the daemon processes, and if you've put a directory there the exec will fail. Installing it to ${libexecdir}/dovecot/auth/auth instead won't help, since Dovecot won't be looking for it there.
