Today, build-it-again day

So, I'm trying to get Carneige-Mellon's imapd set up on my machine. Seems easy enough:

Download cyrus-sasl, openssl, and db.
Compile db, openssl, cyrus-sasl, then cyrus-imapd.
Configure cyrus-imapd.
Enjoy!

Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that easily.

(of course)

After spending something like 5 hours on it, I discover that
because my perl was compiled with Sun's cc compiler, it doesn't like shared libraries compiled with gcc.

So I have to build db and cyrus-sasl all over again.

On the high-side, maybe it will actually work when I'm done.
