Is it OK to ask why you feel a desire or need to do this? It seems to me that you could use existing SRPMs of Cyrus 2.0.16 from at least two different sources, and achieve the apparent goal more easily and more quickly. They seem to compile/build/install just fine on Red Hat 7.x. There are even 2.1.3 SRPMs available now. Other than as a "learning experience", what is the benefit of struggling through a manual tarball-based installation? Others have gone before you, and done the necessary work to make the exact same piece of software compile and install on your chosen Linux distribution. It's probably worth considering using their work as a basis for your own. For Cyrus-IMAPd 2.0.x and SASL 1.5.x see: http://rmorales.modwest.com/rpms/cyrus-imapd/ http://www.caliban.org/files/redhat/SRPMS/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16-6.src.rpm http://www.caliban.org/files/redhat/SRPMS/cyrus-sasl-1.5.27-1.src.rpm For Cyrus-IMAPd 2.1.x and SASL 2.1.x, see: http://www.caliban.org/files/redhat/SRPMS/cyrus-imapd-2.1.3-1.src.rpm http://www.caliban.org/files/redhat/SRPMS/cyrus-sasl-2.1.1-1.src.rpm http://home.teleport.ch/simix/ As a more general question to the list: Is there any way we can get this sort of info about locations of Cyrus RPMs, and other packages such as .deb's for Debian etc etc, onto the primary Cyrus-related web site?
