You said Slack-9.1 correct.? then why i ask do you have /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/ All my Slak-9.1 systems have; /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.2.3 I am NOT saying this is your problem, what i am saying is you seem to have i386 where it should be i486, now i cant see why that should upset the configure program, what i do think is that you dont have the kernel source installed or its not linked properly. Make sure you have the following (just to be sure). /usr/src/linux ->linux-2.4.22 and of course the source installed in linux-2.4.22 which is the way slackware installed the source for you. AFAI can see it should be ok as you do have the libs installed, on the otherhand reading the README on the URL you mentioned you can use: ./configure --with-db=db Just what is meant by that i dont know, as i said, i am no expert with IMAP. Also i could be wrong as well. > Maybe the question is very stupid, I'm sorry if it is so. > Thanks for answers in advance! > P.S.
