I have just installed a new Sun box running Solaris 8 and expected that installing the cyrus IMAP and IMSP packages would be simple!
First I installed BerkleyDB.3.3 and Perl and they went OK. Then I picked up cyrus-sasl -2.1.13 and installed that once I sorted out the --with-... and --disable-... options I needed. Not too bad. Then cyrus-imapd-2.1.13 and that seemed to install OK, again, once I had sorted out the configure options I needed. The IMAP and POP server side seem to run and respond to telnet connections and imtest worked. I then tried to use cyradm to add some users and that is where it went downhill! I get the following Can't load '/usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/auto/Cyrus/IMAP/IMAP.so' for module Cyrus::IMAP: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/auto/Cyrus/IMAP/IMAP.so: symbol sasl_client_init: referenced symbol not found at /usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 169. at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 44 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 44. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris/Cyrus/IMAP/Shell.pm line 60. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. As far as I can make out, this is a dynamic library problem, but I have completely failed to find a cure for it. Help with that will be most welcome. I then moved on to IMSP and downloaded cyrus-imspd-v1.6a3 and tried to build that. This failed because there is no config.h.in present! I looked at v1.5.28 and that has the same problem. On further reading I found that both these versions need version 1.5.x of sasl. I had just installed 2.1.13 because that is what IMAP needs! So I downloaded cyrusimsp from cvs to get a version which would work with 2.1.13. It now seems I need autoconf (and aclocal and autoheader?) before I can make more progress with that. Will this never end? Surely, thousands of people must have installed the cyrus imap/imsp combination on Solaris 8 without anything like this trouble?
