i download db as well but i dnt know how compile this if there is any other way to install the cyrus-imapd please share with me.....
thanks in advance

Hi

You need to install db4 and db4 development packages, so use your distro's package manager to install them
If you're running Centos (as first listed in your profile) use:
Note that for ubuntu the same packages are named libdb4.x and libdb4.x-dev (where x is the minor db4 version number)

Regards

not able to install db4 i am not able to stop mysql server
there is an error: -
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld failed!

If you want us to help, you should provide more details.
What distro are you running?
What happens when you try to install db4?

Regarding mysql take a look at mysql logs

ok i want to configure cyrus-imapd service on my server debian 6.0 when i am going to install cyrus-imapd-2.4.17 i got the error: -
error: Berkeley DB 3.x or later was not found.
so if i run the command
#apt-get install db4.8-util

i got the error "file not found"

please give me some more details

You need the development package and maybe lbdb4 (if not installed)
Have a look here to see how to install

Regards

i have solved this dependency install by db-3.0.55.tar version with this commands : -
#cd db-3.0.55
#../dist/configure --with-mutex="x86/gcc-assembly" --prefix=/usr/local --with-uniquename
#make
#make install

thanks for your cooperation dear bathory thanks a lot.
