Does this RedHat system have all applicable updates from RedHat
installed? In particular, the as shipped copy of 7.1 has a number of
fairly serious flaws with the compiler, glibc, and several other things.

Hmm, I dunno is SASL & Cyrus are fully compatible with BerkeleyDB 3.3.
I've got several RedHat boxes running Cyrus+SASL against BerkeleyDB 3.2,
which I know to work properly. I'd recommend that you stay with the
latest 3.2 version.

Hmmm, SASL is included in the RedHat 7.1 installation (sendmail depends
on it). Did you remove cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-17 & cyrus-sasl-devel-1.5.24-17
before installing the locally built copy? Doing that you'll also need to
remove RedHat's sendmail package and build your won from source.
I normally just user the RedHat copy of SASL it's 1.5.24, which is the
same version you installed.

You don't need to do either of the file 'fixes'. The bison fix isn't
needed, and there's a configure option for the com_err problem.

Well any incompatabilities with BerkeleyDB 3.3 are a moot point. If you
look at the configure output carefully I believe you'll find that
configure picked the DB3 libs that RedHat has installed for rpm
(actually BerkeleyDB 3.1). The problem there is that the search order in
configure has libdb.a last. The install of BerkeleyDB creates
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB-3.3/lib/libdb.a, so the RedHat DB3 libs are found
before configure looks in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB-3.3/lib. Fix that by
using BerkeleyDB-3.2 and copying or linking
/usr/BerkeleyDB-3.2/lib/libdb.a to /usr/BerkeleyDB-3.2/lib/libdb-3.2.a
The set of configure options that I use are:
./configure --with-auth=unix --without-krb --without-ucdsnmp \

The perl & com_err options fix the problem above and the failure of
cyradm to run shown below.

Okay, all of that looks fine.

Looks to be either the classic DB problem or possibly results from the
shipped version of the compiler. Given the liberties that it appears you
took with SASL vs the installed copy, there could be a problem there
also. I'm not sure if a locally built SASL will exactly overlay the
system copy or not. If it doesn't there could well be some "loadable
library confusion"
