Including UCD-SNMP support in Cyrus IMAPD

[marc.bigler at day.com]

Hi Igor,

I just compiled my UCD-SNMP libraries with the options you've told me. Now
I wanted to make sure that the kvm and kstat library is also included in
it. How can I check that ?

Regards
Marc

Try  ('make distclean' first)

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-zignore" LIBS="-lkstat -lkvm" ./configure ...

or

LIBS="-Wl,-zignore -lkstat -lkvm" ./configure ...
