[Dovecot] Make install error

[Christian Wiese]

Hi,

I already compiled/installed dovecot 2.2.0 as you did without any
problems. Also compiling dovecot 2.2.1 and installing it on top of the
previous 2.2.0 install works.

So it seems to me that this is an issue related to your
system environment.
Did you checked how your Suse installation behaves when you are
manually trigger the same commands?

---%<---------------------------------------------------------------
test -z "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" || /usr/bin/mkdir -p
"/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth"
---%<---------------------------------------------------------------

Did you checked filesystem permissions too?

Regards,
Chris
