Ok... Having problems building the rpms for courier-imap on my system.
After I installed all the packages and after several problems which I was able to solve I have run into the next problem, which doesn´t mean much at all to me....
Im using the information I have found here http://www.hut.fi/~tkarvine/rpm-build-as-user.html on how to build rpm´s as a non root user (something that is required by courier-imap). This is the first package I have built and would of really just preferred to use a package within yum (ie.. dovecot or cyrus-imapd) but it seems to use cyrus-imapd I will need to upgrade to fedora core 2 and dovecot can only be used with postgresql at this stage, something that doesn´t bother me greatly, however I would prefer, since I already have the mysql daemon running not to have yet another db installed and running.
ANYWAY.. the problem i get, which im sure is going to be a simple one is this...
Code:
++ authmodulelist=authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpgsql authmysql authpam
++ authmodulelistorig=authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpgsql authmysql authpam
++ daemons=5
++ version=
++ authdaemonvar=/var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap
+ test /var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap '!=' ''
+ echo /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/authdaemonrc.dist
+ echo /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/authdaemonrc.dist
+ echo '%dir %attr(700, root, root) ' /var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap
+ touch /home/alex/rpmbuild/courier-imap/TMP/courier-imap-3.0.5.20040618-1.1-buildroot//var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap/lock

/bin/chmod: failed to get attributes of `/home/alex/rpmbuild/courier-imap/TMP/courier-imap-3.0.5.20040618-1.1-buildroot//var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap/socket': No such file or directory
+ exit 1
error: Bad exit status from /home/alex/rpmbuild/courier-imap/TMP/rpm-tmp.75134 (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /home/alex/rpmbuild/courier-imap/TMP/rpm-tmp.75134 (%install)
So.. It seems to be complaining that a socket doesn´t exist... Any ideas why?
thanks
(thinking that I will just install dovecot and pgsql
