Howdy ho,
In an attempt to resolve this issue I:
A) Attempted to make sure it was still there in the latest snapshot;
B) Read the FAQ; and
C) Attempted to search the mailing list archives with not great success
because sourceforge mailing list searches suck.
Having dispensed with the preamble,
I'm attempting to get Courier-imap 1.7.3 working on Solaris 9; my issue
is that my version of the Berkeley DB is 4.1.25 and courier is
apparently familiar only with the BDB interface up to the version 3
interface. When I attempt to compile I get:
---

make all-am

I've seen this happen in other applications that stupidly expect
Sleepycat to at least attempt to keep their API consistent between
versions*. As I see it, I could either downgrade BDB (if I can find an
older version) or, trivially, change the source to deal with 4.1.25. I
figure there's like an Officially Correct Way to resolve this.
Suggestions?
