The error may be significant; you should probably assume that it is unless you know otherwise. > Now my next problem is, how do I get the ipop3d daemon up and running so I > can run POP3? in the ipopd folders, I see that there are 3 files, ipop2d.c > ipop3d.c and MAKEFILE. > > How do I compile ipop3d.c and into the directory /usr/local/bin and have > the ipop3d daemon running as a new service in xinetd? > > I tried searching the web but I dont find any good HOWTO on UW IMAPD. > Not sure what is the exact reason you chose to build from source instead of installing the binary package. How about following ubuntu's source package for uw-imapd? apt-get source uw-imapd, go to the debian/ directory and look at the README files for any specific information on changes to the build process on ubuntu. The benefits of this approach include: * you get to learn about how to build packages on ubuntu as well * you can still go one step at a time to learn how the underlying package is being patched and compiled * the process should be relatively straightforward as long as you satisfy all the build dependencies * you end up with .deb packages which you can then easily manage using dpkg
