There is no need to "install" the IMAP libraries, in the sense you are
familiar
with (make && make install). We're not kidding you. As far as the PHP
configure part is concerned, just give it the path to wherever you happen to
have the untarred IMAP libraries. If you have them in
/home/someuser/srcs/imap-2002e, then your should configure PHP with
--with-imap=/home/someuser/srcs/imap-2002e
If you feel the need to *install* the files somewhere global for future use,
then copy them there... say /usr/local/lib/uw-imap and configure PHP with
--with-imap=/usr/local/lib/uw-imap

I don't feel I can make this any clearer... and for future reference, this
is a
PHP issue, not a Horde project issue. For further issues regarding building
PHP (not configuring Horde), you might want to ask the people at one of
the PHP mailing lists.
