the error originates in the source C file setting.c as

fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);

• if (fd < 0)

•   i_fatal("Can't open configuration file %s: %m", path);

• if (fd < 0) {

•   i_error("Can't open configuration file %s: %m", path);

•   return FALSE;

• }

so it is posible that i don't have a lib or header file that is required

I did not get any errors on install doning a tar.gz install on Fedora core2 minimal install

Let me give a bit more infor

Originaly i had it in /usr/local/etc and moved it to home/dovcot so i can give fulle access in a pah where there is not other info residing

So i'm thinking it is something i specified in my config file or a mistake i did during compiling

OK, to avoid ambiguity, can you show the output of:

# ls -ld / /home /home/dovecot /home/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf

Then check you get the same log error as before.
