dovecot - Aug 2006 - Beginner Help with a fatal error in a first Basic Install

dovecot at dovecot.org

Hello,

I have been doing my first BasicInstall of Dovecot, following the
documentation for VirtualUsers, and piecing together suggestions from other
on the list, and out on the web.

In dovecot.conf, I have added,

 default_mail_env
maildir:/var/Dovecot/%d/Accounts/%1u/%u/Maildir:INDEX=/var/Dovecot/indexes/%d/%n
 auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  user = pgnmail

  passdb passwd-file {
   args = /etc/imap.passwd
  }

  userdb static {
   args = static uid=99 gid=99 home=/var/Dovecot
mail=maildir:%h/%d/Accounts/%1u/%u nice=10
  }
 }

My User+Passwd DB file is

/etc/imap.passwd
 paulg:{PLAIN}testpass:99:99::/var/Dovecot/domain.com/Accounts/t/paulg:::

On Dovecot startup, my log shows,
 dovecot: Aug 18 07:10:40 Info: Dovecot v1.1.UNSTABLE starting up
 dovecot: Aug 18 07:10:42 Info: auth(default): passwd-file
/etc/imamp.passwd: Read 1 users

When I telnet in, I see,

 Connected to domain.com.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND
UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS
AUTH=PLAIN] domain.com Dovecot IMAP4 ready

and when I login with,

 x login testuser testpass

I see,

 dovecot: Aug 18 07:06:51 Error: child 14963 (imap) killed with signal 5

I'm concerned about the "//" in,

 mail=maildir://Accounts/t/paulg

Is that correct?

And, of course, the,

 dovecot: Aug 18 07:06:50 Error: IMAP(paulg): dyld: Library not loaded:
/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib

which I have no idea about.

Looking at the libraries linked into the
"/usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap" executable, I see
 /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current
version 0.9.8)
 /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8,
current version 0.9.8)
 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1.0.0)
 /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
88.1.6)

And, seeing if "/usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib", exists,
 ls /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib
  /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib

Can someone help?

Thank you.

i've had these same
can't-find-libssl-even-though-i'm-staring-right-at-it probelms in
dovecot.

after a little poking in code, i note that dovecot check first to get
its ssl lib/include link info from pkg-config, and seems to get
flustered by the presence of your own LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS specification of
ssl location.

that said, i've managed to work around it fairly simply.

do this:

install pkg-config (ver > 0.9; current release @ v0.21)

set your ENV var PKG_CONFIG_PATH = wherever you keep your pkg-config
*.pc config files.

e.g., mine is:

% echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

/usr/local/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

now, make sure that pkgconfig can find YOUR openssl's .pc files, by
either (a) adding their location to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, or (b) cp'ing
the files into it.

in my case, i did:

 cp  /usr/local/openssl/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/


now, check to be sure, that

	grep Version /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
		Version: 0.9.8b
	grep prefix /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc
		prefix=/usr/local/openssl

and,

	pkg-config --libs openssl

reports:

	-Wl,-search_paths_first -L/usr/local/openssl/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lssl
-lcrypto -lz

or whatever is appropriate for your ssl install path.


finally, REMOVE ssl lib/include specs from your config ENV, namely:

	---	LDFLAGS=" ... /install/path/to/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto ..."
	---	CPPFLAGS+"... /install/path/to/openssl/include ..."

gets changed to:

	+++	LDFLAGS=" ... ..."
	+++	CPPFLAGS+"... ..."

now, 'make distclean', reconfig & rebuild ... and your "ssl
not-found"
problems should go away.

hth,

richard
