Greetings!

I am installing courier-imap 1.3.5 on a RedHat 6.2 machine. The output of "uname -a" is: Linux mailhub.allafrica.com 2.2.16-3 #1 Mon Jun 19 19:11:44 EDT 2000 i686 unknown

Qmail is installed and running on this machine, and has been for some time.

When running 'configure' I am getting a curious error that originates in the 'liblock' subdirectory:

. . . checking for fcntl... yes checking for flock... no checking for lockf... no checking for locking method... configure: error: must specify --with-locking-method option

If I run configure with '--with-locking-method=x' where x is either fcntl, flock, or lockf, I get something like:

. . . checking for fcntl... yes checking for flock... no checking for lockf... no checking for locking method... configure: error: fcntl test failed.

config.log is not helpful to me, but perhaps there are others on the list who could parse through it a bit more meaninfully than I can. I will forward it if it is deemed helpful.

Best regards, David Brunton.
