[Dovecot] Compiling dovecot on SuSE 9

[Ted S. Garaventa]

Again I am asking for some help to compile and configure dovecot on SuSE 9.

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.

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.

Thanks
