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[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inter7/courier-imap-1.4.3/authlib' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/inter7/courier-imap-1.4.3/authlib' 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 _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
