I downloaded the dovecot source and it doesn't compile. The install

I am running an older version of dovecott and would really like to
upgrade it and there is no package for this linux version
I guess you want these to be installed in /usr/local/libexec/dovecot
directory not /usr/local/lib.
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/auth
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/auth
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/checkpassword-reply
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply
According to ./configure --help this is the default:
--libexecdir=DIR program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
