I'm trying to configure PHP with the following flags:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql --with-imap --with-gettext --with-xml --with-ldap

I get this error:
configure: error: Cannot find rfc822.h. Please check your IMAP installation.

When I run a locate command I find that file no problem:
$ locate rfc822.h
/var/src/courier-imap-1.4.6/rfc822/rfc822.h
/var/src/courier-imap-1.4.6/rfc822/rfc822.html
/var/src/sqwebmail-3.3.4/rfc822/rfc822.h
/var/src/sqwebmail-3.3.4/rfc822/rfc822.html
/var/src/maildrop-1.4.0/rfc822/rfc822.h
/var/src/maildrop-1.4.0/rfc822/rfc822.html
/var/src/maildrop-1.4.0/rfc822.html
/usr/local/share/maildrop/html/rfc822.html


Obviously the webpages aren't relevant, but the file is clearly there! What gives? I need IMAP support for IMP.

Try copying rfc822.h to /usr/include. It should compile fine then.

It got further along in the configuration than threw another IMAP related error:
configure: error: Cannot find imap library. Please check your IMAP installation.

Usually you can do:

--with-imap=/some/dir/

where "/some/dir/" would be the top level directory where your IMAP stuff is installed.

I set that to be /usr/lib/courier-imap and /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin and it still hangs in the same place. Thats where my IMAP server is installed.

To compile PHP with IMAP support you have to install the c-client library. url where you can get this lib ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/

- dom

I did make lrh and it installed completely and then tried to re-comple php and again it didn't work.

Snoozy,

Just wondering what you're going to be using that needs IMAP support?
