dovecot - Jun 2006 - Dovecot configure script for 1.0b8 not including SQL drivers?

I am having a problem with the configure script for Dovecot 1.0b8.  It
doesn't seem to be compiling in sql engine driver support.  I have
specified --with-sql and --with-pgsql but when the script is done it
says "Building with SQL drivers ..............:" but lists no drivers
afterwards.  I tried compiling it anyway but it logs the error "
auth(default): Unknown database driver 'pgsql' " so the it
defiantly
didn't get compiled in.  My pgsql includes and libs are in a non
standard location but I specified that in the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
before the ./configure invocation.  What have I done wrong here, or is
there a bug in the script?

The whole invocation is:
CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8b/include
-I/usr/local/pgsql-8.1.4/include'
LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/openssl-0.9.8b/lib -L/usr/local/pgsql-8.1.4/lib'
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot-1.0b8
--sysconfdir=/etc/dovecot --localstatedir=/var --with-ioloop=eooll
--with-notify=dnotify --without-pop3d --with-storages=maildir
--with-sql --with-pgsql --with-gnu-ld

Thanks in advance.

what does config.log say? and does it report any problems with
finding openssl?

the problem may be that the shared libraries can't be found at
runtime, in which case you will need to set the rpath in the binaries
that are built. you didn't mention which platform/compiler you're
using, but this is done using the -Wl,-R<directory> argument for gcc
and Sun Studio compiler/Solaris ld, at least (-Wl passes the next
argument to the linker, -R tells the linker to include this path in the
binary's rpath).

I looked at the config.log file and it doesn't look like it's having
any problems with openssl, but when I looked for pgsql I got what
looked like some errors.
