Hi Sam,
I made it twice still having same result.
As root:
/usr/local/src# tar jxf courier-imap-4.4.1.20080920.tar.bz2

NOTE
You MUST run the configure script as normal user, not root. Did
you
extract the tarball as root? It won't work. Remove the extracted
source
code. Log in as a normal user. Extract the source code as a normal
user,
then run configure. You will do everything as a normal user,
except for
the final step of installing the compiled software.
