Yes, and that is incorrect which is why every package of this library
fixes this and why it is documented at
http://www.php.net/manual/ref.imap.php that you
need to fix this and why
PHP's configure script has this check:
if test -r "$IMAP_DIR/c-client/c-client.a"; then
ln -s "$IMAP_DIR/c-client/c-client.a" "$IMAP_DIR/c-client/libc-client.a"
>/dev/null 2>&1
elif test -r "$IMAP_DIR/lib/c-client.a"; then
ln -s "$IMAP_DIR/lib/c-client.a" "$IMAP_DIR/lib/libc-client.a"
>/dev/null 2>&1
fi
So, PHP does try to fix this for you if you haven't fixed it
yourself. But, you probably weren't running ./configure as root, so it
was unable to create this symlink
