When I installed PHP4 (from a very recent CVS-checkout), the configuration process didn't like the way my IMAP stuff was installed. I had the library in /usr/lib and the header files in /usr/include/imap This setup seems like it will become the default situation in both Linux Red Hat 6.2 and SuSE Linux (and probably others); in RH 6.2, these IMAP parts are distributed as an "imap-devel" package (supplements the "imap" package for people who will not do any compiling). My quick solution was to copy the c-somthing.a file to /usr/include/imap and tell the ./configure script to look in /usr/include/imap. It would be very nice if the configuration script could somehow handle the upcoming situation where a large number of Linux folks have the imap development files split up in a library (in the usual library location) and a directory of include files. -- Greetings from Troels Arvin, Copenhagen, Denmark
