[Dovecot] help with dovecot installation dependencies
I'm on RHES 4.x
I downloaded 2 dovecot RPM packages from http://packages.sw.be/dovecot/
dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386.rpm 13-Nov-2010 22:15 1.8M RHEL4 and CentOS-4 x86 32bit and dovecot-0.99.13-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm 21-Feb-2005 16:57 693K RHEL4 and CentOS-4 x86 32bit
The first rpm fails with error below : # rpm -i ./dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386.rpm warning: ./dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6 error: Failed dependencies: libmysqlclient.so.14(libmysqlclient_14) is needed by dovecot-1.0.13-1.el4.rfx.i386
I have a hard time trying to locate an rpm that contains libmysqlclient.so.14 & have no luck : # rpm -i ./mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686.rpm warning: ./mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID f21541eb error: Failed dependencies: libcrypto.so.10 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 libssl.so.10 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by mysql-libs-5.1.42-4.el6.i686
Then I installed the 2nd dovecot rpm successfully but its filename indicated it's a "test" version :
# rpm -i ./dovecot-0.99.13-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm warning: ./dovecot-0.99.13-1.2.el4.test.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
# /etc/init.d/dovecot start Starting IMAP daemon (dovecot): [ OK ]
Q1: Is the test version rpm of dovecot reliable? It's only half the size of the other rpm (that I was not able to install)
Q2: Kindly assist me to resolve the 1st rpm issue : let me know where I can download the dependencies etc
Q3: Lastly, kindly point me to a simple doc that tells me how to do basic setup of dovecot & create simple mailbox accounts. I'm a complete newbie to dovecot & postfix. Have some Linux know-how

0.9 / 1.0 : These versions are way out of date and you will probably have a hard time getting support. I suggest you try the current versions from atrpms.net We have been using the 2.0 RHEL5 packages by Axel Thimm for quite some time now and they work flawlessly.
Link for RHEL4 packages: http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el4/dovecot/
Maybe this fixes Q2 as well ;-)
Q3: You'll find lots of examples / tutorials in the dovecot wiki : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/#HOWTOs.2C_examples_and_tutorials

Thanks very much
Will get the RHES 4 packages tomorrow as not in office now. Just hope they can be "rpm" installed right away without compiling.
Can the 2.0 RHEL5 packages run on RHEL 4.x OS ?

yes, they are already compiled

No, you need the RHEL4 packages from http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el4/dovecot/
