Man its great to finally locate a group that can understand what I am asking
about. I've gone to a couple places seeking help and everyone kinda says,
"Why don't you use this program instead". Ugh, that bugs me, anyhow I am a
new linux admin comming from an NT background. I am charged with converting
all of the mail server duties from a FreeBSD machine to a RH Linux machine
and everything has gone fine except for the Cyrus-Imap install. I must be
doing something really wrong here as I have been trying to get this program
to work for almost two weeks to no avail. I tried to install
Cyrus-Imap-1.6.24 (which was the version on the FreeBSD machine) and all I
get is an error about missing the Kerberos DES library files. I went through
the painstaking process of download the full version from MIT, installed
this huge program even though I am using PAM for authentication, and still
did not satisfy the descrepency. In a fit of madness I broke down and
installed the RPM, cyrus-imap-1.5.24-7, and it came up with a new
descrepency. It is now looking for libtcl8.0.so, I guessed that it is asking
for the TCL libraries version 8.0, sadly I have TCL 8.3 installed, and to
install 8.0 would conflict with the new TCL libs. I tried to install
ignoring the descrepency and it really wigged out on me. I can't execute the
cyradmin without failure messages. So now I have a big mudpie and my sanity
is quickly slipping away. Take pity on this poor soul and help if you can!

P.S. I'm trying to install to a RH 7.0, new computer custom build Athlon
700, 128 meg ram, Cyrus-Imap with Pam authentication, using Postfix and
mySQL.
