You can install them for the build and remove them later. Or do as Sam recommends and have a devel. machine that you build the RPMs on and a production machine that you install just the RPMs you need on. Common Unix wisdom says that you should not have even a compiler on a production machine but few follow this practice nowadays. > I attempted to install the rpms, but mysql gave me dependency problems > and the postgres install produced a seg fault. What distro? Did you follow the deps? Why don't you use a tool like apt-get, yum or up2date so that the deps are automatically installed also? > Can I modify the courier-authlib.spec file so that it does not require > or build these modules? (All I really need is the userdb module) Bad idea, your much better off just installing the neccessary rpms to build Courier normally.
