Help installing/compiling IMAP in FreeBSD for use with PHP

well, i dont know a whole lot about FreeBSD in general, so getting PHP to compile with imap support is not proving very simple.

It has worked at one point, but now i can't get it to work. I did a pkg_info and got this:

so it looks like Imap is installed? Yes? No? however it looks like my imap directory (must be specified when compiling php) should look something like /imap-2002b/ or something. However when I do a locate imap i find no directories resembling that. So i'm kindof confused.

I tried downloading the cclient FreeBSD port... when trying to make it i got this:

%make
>> imap-2004.tar.Z doesn't seem to exist in /usr/tmp/usr/ports/distfiles/.
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://216.25.10.198/distfiles/.
fetch: imap-2004.tar.Z: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

this seems like it should not be difficult... i somehow need ot figure out what path to tell php to use for imap... however i dont know how to get this. any help would be appreciated.

well, I don't know much about this particular program, but if you want to find something with locate, make sure the db is up to date:

/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb


or you can just use find

find / -name file_or_directory_name -print

thanks. that was helpful. I located my imap. it is /usr/local/imap-2002e/

however when i add that to my configure line for php

'./configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs' '--with-gd' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local' --with-jpeg-dir=../jpeg-6b -- with-imap=/usr/local/imap-2002e

it says this:


configure: error: Cannot find imap library (libc-client.a). Please check your IMAP installation.


however libc-client.a is in the imap-2002e/lib directory like it should be... any ideas?

hmmm i got the configure to work... instead of /usr/local/imap-2002e/ i used /usr/local/imap-2002e/lib which is where the file it was looking for is... the configure worked....

however now i go to do a make and get all sorts of errors...

i read somewhere that this looks like the headers are a different version than the actual version i have installed or soemthing, but i have no idea how i would correct this.
