I didn't.  In truth, I'm not sure now that it wasn't a typo, as the 
laptop has been shut down since then.  The message I'm getting now 
refers to imap-login as the missing file.

I have no idea what has gone wrong here.  I did not give any parameters 
at all.  The 1.0alpha5 install went into the /usr/local/libexec tree, 
as you say, but this went into /usr/local/lib.  There is no imap-login, 
nor is there an executable called imap.

I think that maybe I should uninstall it and start again.
