Hello Erdmut

Then try again what you had probably done before: > > ./configure --with-imap [other options...] > > It *should* complain in case it doesn't find the imap stuff... ;) I tried that, and had no error message.. until I tried to make, with the same result as before. > > What's a bit strange is the presence of the '-limap' in the linking > step (as shown in your log below).

I then tried to symlink some "libimap.a" to c-client.a I was able to compile, but Apache refused to start, with the error: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: pam_start I managed to make it to work in the end.. I had to compile the c-client.a myself (ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/old/imap-4.7c2.tar.Z) with "make slx" and make a symlink to it in /usr/lib called libimap.a Then, configure php, make, make install, little edition of httpd.conf, and it works. If somebody can shed some light on this, I would be pleased as I would like to really understand how I fixed this. Best regards Francois
