I am not intending on using either mysql or postgres on this system and
I would prefer not to have to install them.
You can install them for the build and remove them later. Or do as Sam
recommends and have a devel. machine that you build the RPMs on and a
production machine that you install just the RPMs you need on. Common
Unix wisdom says that you should not have even a compiler on a production
machine but few follow this practice nowadays.
I attempted to install the rpms, but mysql gave me dependency problems
and the postgres install produced a seg fault.
What distro? Did you follow the deps? Why don't you use a tool like
apt-get, yum or up2date so that the deps are automatically installed also?
Can I modify the courier-authlib.spec file so that it does not require
or build these modules? (All I really need is the userdb module)
Bad idea, your much better off just installing the neccessary rpms to
build Courier normally.
