Hello Marco, Thanks a lot for sending a detailed email. The main reason that I am not using an RPM is because I have Red Hat Linux 3 ES which unfortunately does not comes with Cyrus RPMS. That answers the first question of why I am doing this. Second I need to use postfix to integrate with cyrus imap so I have to configure everything with PAM for authentication , reasons being that I am going to use Opengroupware to use Cyrus IMAP.
Now the second issue is with the version of Berkely database on my system. I already have the RPM 4.1.25 installed on my system and I cannot uninstall it because it has dependencies on the system. So I tried to use ver 4.3.8 but had all sorts of issues with it. ON compiling with already installed RPM 4.1.25 I get errors related to the post here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91933#c0 which is the latest situation. So I cannot use the installed version of RPM on the system because it will not work as redhat themselves state in the above post. And accordingly to my little knowledge of linux if I try to upgrade this RPM I am not sure if the other dependent packages like Apache will crash, so now I don't know what to do. The issue surly is Berkeley DB now, but should I try to install and upgrade on the current RPM or should I install a second version of Berkley DB on an alternate location and try to compile everything with it. Any suggestions please, before I go into the daily drill of compiling all cyrus imapd dependencies.
