I'm trying to build Cyrus 2.3.10 on an x86_64 box running Debian Etch (stable). The first problem I ran into was out-of-date config.guess and config.sub scripts in the 2.3.10 tarball. I grabbed the latest copies of those files from the GNU website: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub Could we get those added to the next tarball release? Now, I'm getting an error during the make process when the Cyrus perl bits are compiled: --------------------------------------------------------- ### Making all in /private/src/cyrus-imapd-2.3.10/perl/imap Checking if your kit is complete...

I'm not sure if this is the correct solution though! Any feedback?
