Hi, Just wanted to share what was missing here... A while back, I wrote: > Hmm! Is anyone running Cyrus on 64-bit Red Hat? > > # ./configure > checking build system type...

(I'd still plead for a newer version in the Cyrus distribution, it even solves a bug in bugzilla ;-)) I thought of this while considering what happens on FreeBSD: there is a recent config.sub version that is used for ports that require the config.sub; I wondered if there was something like this for RH that I just did not install, and I indeed found this package on a server that was not installed as 'minimal' (as my mail-servers are)...

Paul P.S. I sent a message regarding this config.sub and RH/64bit-thing to cyrus-bugs too, but never got a reply. I was not able to follow-up on the bug in bugzilla (2761) that someone else created either, because I was unable to create an account there (you get a 403) and I reported this too. Was a bit disappointed by this :-S ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
