[Imap-use] problems 'makeing' IMAP for use with PHP

[aaron at pelsoft.com]

Ok, Matt had asked me before what SSL library I had used before, I  
didn't know, so he told me to run 'openssl version -a'. I did and it  
returned the following:

OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
>>>>>  built on: date not available
>>>>>  platform: information not available
>>>>>  options: bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(ptr,char) des(ptr,cisc,16,long)
>>>>>  blowfish(ptr)
>>>>>  compiler: information not available
>>>>>  OPENSSLDIR: "/etc/sfw/openssl"

So from there he had said:

"So your OpenSSL libraries are probably in /usr/sfw/lib...

Try something like this:

$ make gso \
         SSLTYPE=nopwd \
         SSLDIR=/usr/sfw \
         SSLCERTS=/var/ssl \
         EXTRALDFLAGS='-R/usr/sfw/lib' \
         EXTRACFLAGS='-fPIC'  "

He did confirm with me that " '-R/usr/sfw/lib' " does the same in  
Solaris as it does in Linux.

We have since tried the full make command above for IMAP, but with  
'gmake' instead of 'make' with the same results.

I chatted with Matt some more and he figures that I am using the  
Solaris bundled version of Open SSL.
Oh and I tried the same above command with 'SSLDIR=/etc/sfw' and  
'SSLDIR=/etc/sfw/openssl' both with the same error.

I am using gmake version 3.80 (again bundled with Solaris). GCC  
version 3.4.3 (bundled with Solaris)

If I haven't mentioned I am trying to install an e-ticketing software  
program for use with the company I work for. The software is call  
eSupport by Kayako. So I am not setting up a mail server, just needing  
IMAP support for the ticketing/mailing portion of this software.

Matt gave me a few more ideas, but I am open to anything.

Thank you for your help!
