I am building dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.1 (dovecot-2.0.5, but that does not matter) with dovecot-config in place (in /usr/lib64/dovecot) on a 64bit Linux (RHEL5):

./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/lib64/dovecot

The libs needed for several executables in libexec such as /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login are not installed in /usr/lib64 but in /usr/lib64/dovecot. Therefore the executable will fail to run:

ldd /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login libdovecot-login.so.0 => not found libdovecot.so.0 => not found librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00000032e9600000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000032e8200000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00000032e8e00000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000032e7e00000)

To me this looks like a bug in the generated Makefile.

I could easily fix that by providing the library path for the loader or by symlinks in /usr/lib64, but this is a workaround only. When doing the fix then managesieve works as expected (tested against my patched websieve using GSSAPI)
