fresh install imapd dependency failed libfam.so.0

[hexa]

Hi,

i just finished a fresh install of cPanel and got the license. Everything works fine except for imapd.
When trying to login to any mail account over imap (pop3 works fine) my connection get's dropped by the server. Upon taking a closer look at my maillog file i saw this entry:
--
Jun 23 09:43:10 acenta imapd: /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd: error while loading shared libraries: libfam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--
which seems to be the reason.
A closer examination with ldd confirms this error:
--
[email protected] [/var/log]# ldd /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd
libfam.so.0 => not found
libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libgdbm.so.2 (0x0000003c42400000)
libcourierauth.so.0 => /usr/lib64/courier-authlib/libcourierauth.so.0 (0x0000003a6c300000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000003c41700000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003c41500000)
--

It seems that libfam.so.0 is missing. While i probably could install the missing package by hand (with yum) i think this is a problem with cPanel install dependencies and it should be fixed by cPanel.

Please sudgest what should i do now?

Tnx.

For those of us using RHEL 4 x86_64...

The same issue but a little different to fix since yum is not available:

I posted it over here:
