The supplied cyrus-sasl RPMs for Red Hat 8.0 appear to me to include both SASLv1 and SASLv2 libraries. They work well enough for me. > You are trying to use SASLv1 to compile Cyrus-IMAPd 2.1.11!

Just use the SRPMs for cyrus-imapd from Simon Matter at http://home.teleport.ch/simix/ instead, and you will get a usable Cyrus setup a lot sooner. If you need cyrus-imapd 2.2 from CVS (until 2.2 gets released), I find that it makes good sense to grab the CVS tree, turn it into a tarball, and edit the .spec file from Simon's SRPM to create a cyrus-imapd 2.2 SRPM and RPM set. > As to your original problem, again you need to tip your hat to the > kind folks at RedHat.

Try the openssl-devel RPM package, if you need the static libssl libraries. They are most certainly available and present on Red Hat CDs and FTP sites. Only those developing (compiling from source) for OpenSSL will ever need the static libraries, so placing them in a -devel package, and not installing the, by default, is entirely natural in the RPM world. What "the default install" does is not intended to be appropriate for developers or for production servers anyway, but for new users. Developers (and knowledgeable sysadmins building mailservers) are expected to be able to use the package management system that their chosen distribution uses. Fortunately for Red Hat admins who want to use Cyrus, Simon Matter has done most of the hard work for us, and create suitable RPMs already.
