[Dovecot] Make install error

[kengheng]

Hi, I tried remove and make install, same err happended. I noticed from 
the log below, it first generate the 
"/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/auth" with checkpassword-reply, and it 
is success, the coming generation directory for auth at 
"/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/", it is weird that the make install 
generation for file auth and directory auth at same path. It is causing 
the issues.

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2.1/src/auth'
test -z "/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot" || /usr/bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot"
