You are missing the fact that the dovecot-config file is not the same as your dovecot configuration directory. Check out your /usr/local/lib/dovecot directory (or where ever your lib-directory is located), you will find your dovecot-config file there.

Hi,

I'm trying to compile dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.15 on a CENTOS 5 box.

Using: ./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/local/etc and with:

ls -Al /usr/local/etc/ total 100 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49576 Apr 6 12:25 dovecot.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 410 Apr 6 12:25 dovecot-db-example.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 782 Apr 6 12:25 dovecot-dict-sql-example.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4986 Apr 6 12:25 dovecot-ldap-example.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5097 Apr 6 12:25 dovecot-sql-example.conf

But it bails with:

appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool

dovecot-config not found from /usr/local/etc, use --with-dovecot=PATH to give path to compiled Dovecot sources or to a directory with the installed dovecot-config file. configure: error: dovecot-config not found

What am I missing here?
