Hello,

I'm trying to install the Courier IMAP 1.0 server onto a Solaris 7 sparcstation. The compilation goes okay (apart from the wait/wait3 bug), but the 'make check' fails:

Making check in tcpd Making check in imap ./testsuite | ./testsuitefix.pl | cmp -s - ./testsuite.txt **************************** * Sanity check in progress * **************************** find: cannot read dir confmdtest2/.b/tmp: Permission denied find: cannot read dir confmdtest2/.b/new: Permission denied find: cannot read dir confmdtest2/.b/cur: Permission denied INFO: LOGIN, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1] INFO: LOGOUT, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1]

and:

INFO: LOGIN, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1] INFO: LOGOUT, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1] rm: cannot read directory confmdtest2/.b/tmp: Permission denied rm: cannot read directory confmdtest2/.b/new: Permission denied rm: cannot read directory confmdtest2/.b/cur: Permission denied rm: Unable to remove directory confmdtest2/.b: File exists rm: Unable to remove directory confmdtest2: File exists maildirmake: File exists maildirmake: File exists INFO: LOGIN, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1] INFO: LOGOUT, user=user, ip=[127.0.0.1]

The first 'permission denied' bit then occurs again. I also get at the end:

for f in authlib.8 "" ; do \ test "$f" = "" && continue ; \ ./../install-sh -c -m 644 $f /usr/local/man/man8 ; done ; \ cd /usr/local/man/man8 || exit 1 ; \ for f in authpwd.8 authshadow.8 authuserdb.8 authpam.8 authvchkpw.8 authcram.8 authldap.8 authmysql.8 authdaemon.8 authdaemond.8 "" ; do \ test "$f" = "" && continue ; \ rm -f $f; ln -s authlib.8 $f ; \ test -w /etc && chown bin $f && chgrp bin $f ; \ done ; exit 0 cp: cannot create /usr/local/man/man8/#inst.6552#: Permission denied *** Error code 2 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-data-local' Current working directory /export/home/jhorne/courier-imap-1.0/authlib *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-am' Current working directory /export/home/jhorne/courier-imap-1.0/authlib *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive' Current working directory /export/home/jhorne/courier-imap-1.0 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check' E{jhorne}93:

Any ideas? Why does it say 'cannot create...' during a check? Surely that should be part of the install. The configure command used the '--prefix=/usr/local' option since that is where we want it installed.

Any help/thoughts appreciated,

John.
