Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem which reading and following the install
instructions, and a good browsing of this list havent seemed to be
able to help

First off, I'm installing this onto a Red Hat 7.2 system. gcc/+ 2.96
and gnu make - version 1.4.3 courier-imap

I am following the Install instructions as well as the install
instructions in Dave Sill's book, preferring the official docs if
there have been differences.

I have tried doing this from an expanded tarball from both
/home/username/ (as a user) and /usr/local/src/ (as a user)

OK, what happens is follows:

./configure does its thing without any errors appearing anywhere,
looking good so far (I wasnt putting any options in here, wanted to
try it 'raw' first.. and second)

last few lines of results of ./config

creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating imapd.dist
creating imapd-ssl.dist
creating pop3d.dist
creating pop3d-ssl.dist
creating testsuitefix.pl
creating mkimapdcert
creating mkpop3dcert
creating imapd.cnf
creating pop3d.cnf
creating config.h
[david@alpha courier-imap-1.4.3]$

make also appears to do its thing properly, no apparant errors, seems
to exit cleanly.

last few lines of output from make

cp imap/imapd.8 .
cp -f imap/mkimapdcert.8 .
cp -f imap/mkpop3dcert.8 .
cp imap/imapd.dist .
cp imap/imapd-ssl.dist .
cp imap/pop3d.dist .
cp imap/pop3d-ssl.dist .
cp imap/imapd.cnf .
cp imap/pop3d.cnf .
cp -f ./maildir/quotawarnmsg quotawarnmsg.example
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inter7/courier-imap-1.4.3'
[david@alpha courier-imap-1.4.3]$

the probs appear with make check - what is listed is pasted in here
are the last few lines that appear from make check ( careful of line
wrap I spose....I am putting in (NL) where the line wraps or stops on
the terminal screen

mkdir
/usr/local/src/inter7/courier-imap-1.4.3/=install-check/usr/lib/courie
r-imap/etc (NL)
/usr/local/bin/install -c -m 644 -m `test -d ../courier && echo "660"
&& exit 0; echo 600` ./authldaprc \ (NL)

/usr/local/src/inter7/courier-imap-1.4.3/=install-check/usr/lib/courie
r-imap/etc/authldaprc.dist (NL)
install: fatal: unable to chown /usr/local: permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-authldaprc] Error 111

make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory

make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inter7/courier-imap-1.4.3'
make: *** [check] Error 2
[david@alpha courier-imap-1.4.3]$

this is a little confusing because as a 'standard' user I wouldnt have
beenexpecting to be able to chown anything in usr/local/

Can anyone point me to what I may be doing wrong, I have so far
managed to get a number of other things working ok
(daemontools/usctcpi/qmail) without running into this style of
difficulty

Thanks for your time and patience

David Cook
