Sorry about all the messages, but I think this could be of use to others.

It certainly does, you rock. Lo and behold:

Thanks. :-)

Which explains what I mentioned in my first post, that a .vpasswd.lock was created where there was no .vpasswd.cdb file. Courier-Imap is still trying to auth from the vpasswd files. So my guess about that was correct.

Now, when I first tried to compile it, it bitched about the call to the mysql_functions (as mentioned in several posts on this list), so I compiled it like this:

rpm -Uvh MySQL-client-3.23.34-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh MySQL-devel-3.23.34-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh MySQL-shared-3.23.34-1.i386.rpm

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" ``env LIBS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz"'' ./configure -- prefix=/var/qmail/courier-imap make

Which I thought was in accordance with all the tips that I read on the the list. Did I compile it wrong? Perhaps, I am a bit of an idiot in the wee hours. I notice that I didn't do:

export CPPFLAGS export LDFLAGS

As specified in the FAQ. According to .bash_history, I had done this every other time except this last time so...

I just now did:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" export CPPFLAGS export LDFLAGS /configure --prefix=/var/qmail/courier-imap

By the way, in bash you can combine some lines:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql"

which sets the variables and marks them for export to child processes, or

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" ./configure \ --prefix=/var/qmail/courier-imap

which sets them only in the child process - like env, but it's a shell built-in command.

[...]

``env LIBS="-L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient -lz"'' ./configure -- prefix=/var/qmail/courier-imap

I don't think you're supposed to include the `` and '', though as it's a shell command they don't hurt anything. The env is also optional, in bash.

and it compilies and checks fine, install fine and works!!!

Mar 17 03:17:50 w1 imapd: LOGIN, user=bs@bs.com, ip=[::ffff:209.179.246.118] Mar 17 03:17:51 w1 imapd: LOGOUT, user=bs@bs.com, ip= [::ffff:209.179.246.118], headers=0, body=0

But, I'm a persistant type, so I then wipe and unpack again and try it this way:

``env LIBS="-L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient -lz"'' ./configure -- prefix=/var/qmail/courier-imap

(no CPPFLAGS or LDFLAGS or export)

And it works fine.

Soooo, the FAQ is wrong (at least on RH7), this is -not- needed:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" export CPPFLAGS export LDFLAGS

Um, where does it say that in the FAQ? (I know there's something there about libraries in NON-default locations.)

and the post on the list that says to use:

``env LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz"'' ./configure

should say

``env LIBS="-L<path to the directory where libmysqlclient.so resides> - lmysqlclient -lz"'' ./configure

IMHO none of that ought to be necessary - the configure script is there to do this sort of stuff automatically.

Thanks again Daniel. Now I can move on to hacking the latest TWIG to get it to work with Courier-Imap/Vpopmail.

You're welcome.

Hmm, should these messages be posted to the list? Others might find them useful.
