* Hello!
*
* I have problems..
*
* I want to replace my current pop3 system to imap system and started looking
* for Cyrus in hopes to accomplish it..
* I have exim as mta, installed from .deb's in installation of debian
* (potato, only stable packages installed)
*
* I first tried to install cyrus-imapd with apt-get - installed cyrus-imapd +
* cyrus-common and felt like working : WRONG!
* Cannot find imap.conf..
*
* Well then I went to cyrus homepages and dl'd cyrus-sasl-1.5.27.tar.gz &
* cyrus-imapd-2.0.16.tar.gz
Why that if only the imapd.conf is missing? /etc/cyrus.conf and
/etc/imapd.conf are well documented by their respective man pages,
did the debian packagers opt them out?
* but since I'm 'n00b' and read docs and tried to read faqs (that are really
* inadequate) I had several questions..
*
* Like how to get sasl to coop up with PAM?
If you do a "./configure --help", there is surely a switch to that.
Anyway, if you just do it the "normal way" by "./configure && make &&
make install", I presume it will find the pam libraries automatically
and include pam support.
* and most of all, how the hell do I get imapd compiled?
*
* while running configure (as simpliest as ./configure
* --with-dbdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/)
* ->
* checking for com_err in -lcom_err... no
* configure: warning: Parts of com_err distribuion were found, but not
* compile_et.
* configure: warning: Will build com_err from included sources.
This is just a warning, ignore it.
*
* and then running make
* ->
* Running Mkbootstrap for Cyrus::IMAP ()
* chmod 644 IMAP.bs
*
LD_RUN_PATH="/work/root/cyrus/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16/perl/imap/../../lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib"

* IMAP.o -L/work/root/cyrus/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16/perl/imap/../../lib -lcyrus
* -lsasl -lssl -lcrypto
* /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
* collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
* make[2]: *** [blib/arch/auto/Cyrus/IMAP/IMAP.so] Error 1

* make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
* make[1]: Leaving directory `/work/root/cyrus/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16/perl'
* make: *** [all] Error 1
*
* and 'bang'.
Of course, because you have not installed OpenSSL (or its devel package).
Either do that or disable ssl support in cyrus ("./configure --help" helps).
*
* I would appreciate 'walk with hand in hand' instructions how to get that
* cyrus working and replace current pop3 with it..
*
* Additional info will be dug up if someone asks, like I told earlier, I'm
* bit 'n00b' and it's hard for me to figure out what else is required to
* pinpoint my problem.
Sure, but there is also no way in predicting your knowlegde and how your
system works. So, one problem after the other. Inventing a list of "ifs"
and "thens" does not make much sense here and requires much more work than
answering direct questions.
