Dear Dovecot, I have noticed that when you pass a --prefix in to the configure script and say specify a path of /local/dovecot-2.2.6 that when you install most of the subdirectories (etc, lib, include, libexec,etc) have a dovecot directory in them, like if you were installing to /. This is not typical of most *nix software. So I tried to specify the exact location with the following configure options, but they are not honored when it comes to installation. I have looked through the configure script to see if I can see where the problem is and can not see it. These are the ones that do not work. Some of the others, however to work.
# Do not work
--sysconfdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/etc \
--libdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/lib \
--includedir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/include \
--libexecdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/libexec \
# Do work
--docdir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/share/doc \
--with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/local/dovecot.2.2.6/ssl \
--with-statedir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/lib \
--with-moduledir=/local/dovecot-2.2.6/lib \
--with-rundir=/run/dovecot
