Hi - I've read the FAQ/INSTALL etc. and this install error (standard redhat 6.2 development machine) just doesn't make sense;

[nick@doze9 /tmp/courier-imap-0.99]$ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -L /lib/libdb ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -L /lib/libdb ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln -s works... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for env... /usr/bin/env checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking for gdbm_open in -lgdbm... yes checking for gdbm_open... no checking for dbopen in -ldb... yes checking for dbopen... no checking for db_open... no checking for db_env_create... no configure: error: Cannot find either the gdbm or the db library.

But...

Any thoughts?

Cheers, nick.
