That's OK, you just need to install autoconf (the tool that parses
configure.in and creates a new configure script). It'll be available as an
RPM on the RedHat CDs (if it's already installed, then make sure it's in 
your path).

However, if you're relatively new to Linux then a better option might be 
to install Cyrus directly from the RPMs that contributors to this list 
have created. I don't run Cyrus on Linux myself, so I'm not sure whether 
the RPMs will work on RH8, but a troll through the list archives should 
answer that question.
