Fresh install of SuSE 8.1. MySQL installed via rpms - all headers and libraries installed. Courier-IMAP will not include MySQL.

relevent (?) output from authlib/config.log

<snip> configure:5987: result: no configure:6249: checking for mysql_config configure:6267: found /usr/bin/mysql_config configure:6279: result: /usr/bin/mysql_config configure:6303: checking for mysql_connect configure:6346: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./..

is it failing on mysql because of not finding libnss_files? If so, what package is this? I have libnss_files.so.2 in /lib.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44415 Sep 10 2002 libnss_files.so.2

and ldconfig -p shows libnss_files loaded

-> libnss_files.so.2 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.0) => /lib/libnss_files.so.2

so wtf?

please help. i was at this until the wee hours of the morning.
