This is the Cyrus IMAPd source package. This rpm rebuilds on RedHat 6.2 ... 9 as well as Fedora Core 1. If you want to change any of the default build options, look at the head of the .spec file. Otherwise just compile with 'rpmbuild --rebuild cyrus-imapd-2.x.x-x.src.rpm'.

NOTE for RedHat 8.0 users: I've got a report about a problem when upgrading glibc on RedHat 8.0. It has been reported that a rebuild from source RPM was needed to fix the problem.

NOTE for RedHat 9 and Fedora Core 1 users: The current cyrus-imapd package doesn't work on AMD K6 and Athlon CPU's and I've got reports that it also doesn't work on Intel Pentium I CPU's and the Geode CPU. It builds fine but it doesn't work correctly due to problems with the db4 package provided by those distributions. On affected systems, you may get error messages like the following in /var/log/messages or on other CPU's, no error messages are reported because processes of cyrus-imapd simply die:

May 15 13:51:25 co ctl_cyrusdb[10520]: DBERROR: dbenv->open '/var/lib/imap/db' failed: Function not implemented

You may also check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86381 to find out more about this bug. Until RedHat fixes this bug, you can recompile the db4 packages with a modified db4.spec file. Just install the original source rpm db4-4.x.x-x.src.rpm, patch the db4.spec file and do a rpmbuild -bb db4.spec.

Read the file /usr/share/doc/cyrus-imapd-x.x.x/README.RPM after install, it will give you some quick start info to get you up and running.
