Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu failed But copying back config.sub from 2.3.16 (where I also get the with-auth error) I don't see an error. Interesting. Yeah, OK. So I went back to 2.3.11 and re-ran: aclocal -I cmulocal autoheader autoconf And what do you know - I'm getting the error. So it just looks like ./configure on 2.3.11 was built with an older version of autoconf which didn't complain about unknown options. Looking through code, there's actually nothing in 2.3.11 that used that value anyway. I'll go through the docs and strip any mention of --with-auth (other than documenting that it has been bogus for a while in the changelog) Thanks for reporting this, Bron. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
