On Courier-Users in recent months there have been some queries about
problems compiling Courier IMAP and a failure in "make check", where a
file /maildir/autoresponsequota.h is found to be missing.  This happened
to me compiling 1.7.3 on Red Hat 7.2.  There was a bunch of other short,
missing, .h files in this and at least one other directory.  So it
seemed that ./configure had not worked properly.

I looked at configure.log and found it to be much shorter than that of a
successful compilation on a Red Hat 9.0 machine . . .  and there was a
message about it being compiling as root.

Indeed, I accidentally run ./configure and make as root.  I thought I
had wiped that directory and started again as non-root, but it seems I
didn't.

So, as non-root, I unzipped, did ./configure, make and make test -
all was well . . . until I tried to get the server to run.  The
authdaemond was running OK but the server would not run.  An error in
/var/log/maillog:

  Invalid -maxprocsarg option.

pointed to the fact that there was no line such as:

  MAXDAEMONS=40

in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd .  When I fixed that, I got:

  Invalid -maxperip option.

so I added:

  MAXPERIP=4

and then it worked fine.
