Aha! I knew it was something dumb/simple. Although sasl2 was compiled
and installed under /usr/local, it was still searching for things under
/usr/lib/sasl2. Here's the relevant calls from truss (Solaris strace equiv):

openat(-3041965, "/usr/lib/sasl2", O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY|O_LARGEFILE) Err#2
ENOENT

I set a symlink (as it says to in the install.html file, don't know how
I missed that...) from /usr/local/lib/sasl2 to /usr/lib/sasl2 and now
it's all working:

bash-3.00# /usr/local/sbin/pluginviewer
Installed SASL (server side) mechanisms are:
LOGIN ANONYMOUS PLAIN GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 EXTERNAL
...

If I may make a suggestion, it would be nice if "make install" performed
the symlink, or at least printed out a very visible message to that
effect. I suspect I'm not the first person to run into this.

Thanks!

Derek
