[Fwd: Re: [Dovecot] Compiling dovecot on SuSE 9]
Thanks for the reply regarding the compilaton of dovecot to SuSE 9. I have made the key and put it in the correct area but still no luck.
I have attached the strace output to the end of this email. Thanks!!!

Again I am asking for some help to compile and configure dovecot on SuSE 9.
im working on some rpm for it. i think ill release them on thursday.
I have configured and compiled it as per the instructions and no errors or problems. When I try to run dovecot from the command line it does not complain or give me any errors. The daemon starts and dies almost immediately.
you did everything right so far. the problem is that dovecot comes with SSL enabled by default but there is no cert for it. go to $SRCDIR/doc/ edit mkcert.sh (change imapd.pem to dovecot.pem) run it. restart dovecot and everything will be fine.
but you need a dovecot pam file. i use the file from [1].
Do I need to compile differently? What can I do to see what is the problem. I was asked to run strace but I don't know what it is telling me. the solution would be:
strace -e trace=file dovecot
you would see a file not found error at the end of the log.

you can find the patch for mkcert.sh + dovecot.pam + init script there. and of course the rpm when it's done.
