[Dovecot] : error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot.so.0 (arm cross compile)

Hi.

I've made a new attempt at build Dovecot.  The build and then install  
processes appeared to work find.  Then when I try to run Dovecot it  
reports the error:

/share/MD0_DATA/optware/opt/sbin/dovecot: error while loading shared  
libraries: libdovecot.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file  
or directory



To get a better idea of what's going on, I added --enable-devel-checks at  
./configure and then ran gdb:

# gdb --args dovecot -F
GNU gdb 6.8
[snip]
This GDB was configured as "arm-none-linux-gnueabi"...
(no debugging symbols found)
(gdb) run
Starting program: /share/MD0_DATA/optware/opt/sbin/dovecot -F
(no debugging symbols found)
/share/MD0_DATA/optware/opt/sbin/dovecot: error while loading shared  
libraries: libdovecot.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file  
or directory

Program exited with code 0177.
(gdb) bt full
No stack.
(gdb) quit


By the way on a separate but related note, adding --enable-maintiner-mode  
introduced a new problem also relating to libdovecot.so.0.0.0 I'll refer  
to that in the post script.

Everything seems to be in the right place.  So I don't know what's wrong.


Now on to my post script.  This issue first appears when I try to package  
my freshly built Dovecot for installation on my arm powered nas.

#make dovecot-ipk

So I went looking for libdovecot.so.0.0.0 and found, ls -ahl  
~/Projects/nslu2/optware/tsx09/builds/dovecot-2.0.13-ipk/opt/lib/dovecot/:

total 1.3M

-rwxr-xr-x 1 leonidis leonidis 1.3M Aug 27 17:07 libdovecot.so.0.0.0

The other libraries appear to have been built and are waiting to be  
packaged up but ipackage doesn't seem to get that far.  What this says  
about ipackage and how it might relate to my first problem I don't know.


I apologise this all seems a bit like a broken record to me.
