I have received the following error while I compile php 5.3.10.

configure: error: Cannot find imap library (libc-client.a). Please check your c-client installation


Could not find this library

locate libc-client.a

any idea??

Packages providing 'libc-client.a' , examples :

Fedora, CentOS 6 : uw-imap-static
CentOS 5 : libc-client-devel
Debian, Ubuntu : libc-client2007e-dev

Thanks for your reply... I have located libc-client2007e-dev but not found.
