[Dovecot] Compiling Error with Dovecot 1.0.7 and Sieve 1.0.4

[Jay Welch]

So through trial and error and researching I have figured out why I am 
getting this compiling error

Basically, I originally installed Dovecot through yum using Centos 5.5 
that installed the libraries and bin files in different directories then 
the source files would.

Yum Installation: /usr/libexec/dovecot
Source Files: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot

So this error that I am getting....."gcc: @CFLAGS@: No such file or 
directory"

How would I set up the path so when I do ./configure with Sieve....it 
points to the correct location of the library and bin files?

Any help is appreciated. I really need to fix this.

Thanks
