Actually, both INSTALL and the .spec file itself were clear that it was designed for RH.

OK, so that would seem to be a fair warning of trouble ahead, when building for different RPM-based systems. I've seen RPMs of Courier-IMAP at least floating around on the Internet, so you could probably snag the SPEC file used to build those, and use it as a template.

My point was that the information on how to build RPMs with both custom paths *and* custom configure options was scattered around INSTALL, the FAQ and the mailing list, and that some of the information I found there is not completely correct.

Send Sam a patch?

Also, when it is recommended that building from RPMs should be done as non-root, it is strange that a file in /sbin should be referenced at all.

I can build the RPMs as non-root, even though chkconfig is in /sbin, which isn't in my users' path.

pts/3 juha@vim2:~$ which chkconfig /usr/bin/which: no chkconfig in (/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/juha/bin)

pts/3 juha@vim2:~$ ls /sbin/chkconfig /sbin/chkconfig

Please trim unnecessary quotes and don't top-post.
