I've been using the macports version of dovecot, which is 1.1.11, on MacOS 10.5.6
$ /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Fatal: kevent(EV_ADD, 0) failed: Operation not supported This version is configured --with-ioloop=kqueue The problem seems to be known, if not understood: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2008/Dec/msg00010.html However, if I use --with-ioloop=poll, I eventually get IMAP(dave): [9079]: invalid I/O fd 0, callback 0x9330 (not from the above command; it's a little later when Gnus tries to interact with dovecot through the shell) I've been unable to build/install any later versions of dovecot on MacOS. autogen.sh fails like this: ... glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' glibtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and glibtoolize: rerunning glibtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. glibtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. configure.in:281: installing `./config.guess' configure.in:282: required file `./config.rpath' not found configure.in:281: installing `./config.sub' configure.in:5: installing `./install-sh' configure.in:5: installing `./missing' src/auth/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
