Sieve isn't sieving for me

[Schmehl, Paul L]

This may or may not be your problem, but when I had the exact same
problem, I fixed it like this.  (Everything else worked fine, but sieve
showed no available mechs, and I couldn't login using sieveshell.)

When I first built Cyrus, I symlinked to the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory
like this:
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/sasl2/ /usr/lib/sasl2

When I used this, sieve finally showed avalable mechs:
#ln -s /usr/local/lib/sasl2/* /usr/lib/sasl2

The first example symlinks the whole /usr/local/lib/sasl2 directory.
The second symlinks all the files *in* the directory.  The first worked
fine with cyrus-imapd and auxprop, but didn't work with sieve.
