I have what I'm sure is a stupid question. I'm trying to install
Dovecot 1.1.2 from source and my command sequence is this:
cd dovecot-1.1.2
./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --with-mysql
--with-storagesmaildir --sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot
make
make install
cd ../dovecot-sieve-1.1.5
./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.1.2
make
make install
I've done the odd config on dovecot to try and keep it as close to the
install dirs used by the Dovecot package included with Ubuntu.
Once it's done, dovecot -n still looks in /usr/local/etc and when I
try and start dovecot it looks for the libexec dir in /usr/local
instead of /usr.
Is there something I'm missing on the configure?
I also install from source on my Debian system and I keep the configure
options in a little script which currently looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
#configure flags for compilation compatible with gentoo emerge
#john allen
#9.5.2005
#modified 19.11.2006
#modified 26.1.2008 for kirtley
./configure \
--with-pam \
--without-deliver \
--with-storages=maildir \
--prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--datadir=/usr/share \
--sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot \
--localstatedir=/var
I can't see any problem with your configure options, so as Charles says
maybe there's another dovecot somewhere on your system.
Have you tried the command "which dovecot"?
