Subject: IMAP compile dies looking for lib shadow -- what and why?

Apologies that this is not strictly Pine, but I couldn't find a more
likely place.

I'm running Linux 1.0.9 from Slackware 2.1

I'm trying to compile the Washington  IMAP distribution for Linux from
sunsite.  It dies looking for lib shadow.  What is it?  Where can I find
it?  What does it imply?  I can't find any documentation on it.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

libshadow is the Linux code that handles shadow passwords.  Since this is 
standard in Linux, you may want to investigate why your Linux 
installation is incomplete.  I am not a Linux expert, so I can not 
comment much further.

The official location of the IMAP distribution is on 
ftp.cac.washington.edu.  Any other locations may have out of date versions.
