OK
I un-tarred the source, ran configure, and it now fails in the liblock configure
script (it didn't fail in this script before) here is the error:
"checking for fcntl... yes
checking for flock... no
checking for lockf... no
checking for locking method... configure: error: must specify
--with-locking-method option
configure: error: ./configure failed for liblock
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.32421 (%prep)"
so i re-ran configure specifying --with-locking method=fcntl, since that is the
one it found on my system, and it still fails here with the same error.
I get the same error message from 0.29.0 and 0.29.1.
anyway, i am going to try a couple of things, but i thought i would throw it out
there in case someone can give me a few pointers.
thanks.

Hello,
I keep trying to build the RPMS from the 0.29 tar ball (according to the FAQ and
online-docs), but it keeps failing with the following:
./testsuite: line 625: 30446 Done env MAILDIR=confmdtest
./imapd <<EOF

make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

Any ideas why?
i get the same error when i tried 0.29-1 also.
I am running Mandrake 7.2 distro of Linux. I have successfully compiled
courier on redhat 6.2 (courier-0.23), but i just installed mandrake - i
really don't want to go back to redhat. Has anyone got it working on
Mandrake?
Unpack the tarball by hand, run configure, then make. Run make check, this
is what's failing. Now you can investigate why make check is failing. If
the reason is benign, you can simply remove make check from the spec file,
and build your RPMs from the modified spec file.
