Ok all I know this was probably a pretty basic problem, but I havent used NIX in a long while, and this is causing me some real probs, as I'm not a NIX guru, and yet had to do the installs for a few programs, I was hoping someone would perhaps be able to give me some sort of pointer, I have now tried a few different versions of Courier-IMAP al;l with the same results at the same point, and I'm still trying to work out why make check is trying to chown anything, or what the solution may be.
