The problem was that I did an install from sbopkg which downloads and installs
the package in
the SlackBuilds repository. This mechanism does not easily allow setting
options. I needed to
have the --with-gssapi=yes option set.
So, I just downloaded directly from
http://www.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.33.2.tar.gz
and did:
./configure --with-gssapi=yes
make
make install
and everything appears to be working fine!
--Mark
