imap compile problem

[willieklein]

Hi all

I'm trying to get imap to work in php. I got the c-client lib from ftp.cac.washington.
I compiled it and copied file according to the instructions in the manual.

One problem is that I'm not sure what is meant by link path. How do I find out what my link path is? Anyway I copied c-client.a to /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a and compiled with ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-track-vars --disable-debug --with-imap=/usr/local/lib/

I'm using courier imap I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
I get the following error in configure configure: error: Cannot find imap library. Please check your IMAP installation

What am I doing wrong?

What operating system?

OOPS
sory for not following this up. Th OS is RH Linux 6.2 . I got it working. I'm still not sure what is the link path, I can't find that in any documentation. Anyway I took a brute force approach and copied the client files to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib and now it seems to work.

Thanks for responding, people like you make open source solutions the best supported solutions available.
