Intro: I am a consultant who is still transitioning from a Widnows background to Linux. I have converted my desktop OS to SuSE9.1 and am working on building my mail/web farm. This is attempt number five. I have always made it so far as to get qMail patched and configured but always fall apart on the last piece of getting pop/iMAP working. I have poked around on the list archives a few days to see the 'lay of the land' and find a lot of the qMail users here also. I have posted their before with limited results and I believe it is because qMail was never realy my issue but the POP/IMAP add-ons required to make my mail solution work.
Goal: Two servers hosting a few small domains where the users are remote and point to these servers for mail (aka can not be open relay and so will host some form of SMTP auth or POP-before-SMTP) or now the option I am looking to try with this group which is the authentication native to IMAP (vs POP). Hardware/NOS: PIII 256MB RAM mirrored 10GB HDDs running FedoraCore 2 fully patched. Issue: Downloaded tarball and attempted to compile from source...fails with error ******* checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... no checking for aCC... no checking for CC... no checking for cxx... no checking for cc++... no checking for cl... no checking for FCC... no checking for KCC... no checking for RCC... no checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no checking for C++ compiler default output... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables ******** I know I have gcc loaded and pathing straight as I did all the setup of qMail,checkpasswrd,daemontools, and ucspi-tcp from source. googling yielded various attempts to set environment variables for c to refer to gcc but this does not work (or I am doing it wrong). Second attempt after source was to try the latest rpm package. The latest version on http://bincimap.org/dl/RPMS/i386/1.2/ was 1.2.9 for SuSe 8.2 which complains about missing libcrypto, libssl (which are both installed)... ok third try: latest version for redhat... which happens to be bincimap-1.2.4-1RH9-dynamic.i386.rpm. A little old but a good start. Did the install and things seemed to go well. Now back to "LifeWithBincIMAP". Downloaded the /var/qmail/control/bincimap.conf update copied it over. Downloaded and copied over the /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl updated file. Go to next step of "ln -s /var/qmail/supervise/bincimap /service/bincimap" but this directory does not exist. (Thought that the RPM would have constructed all this) This also does not apear to be the only directory structure that the RPM did not build.
