What do you mean?

You can see the available options with:

  ./configure -h

Normally, imapfilter will build fine if you have installed the required
software inside /usr or /usr/local, but if some distribution places
things in a special directory, you have to play with some variables or
let the packagers do the job...

Hmm, now that I think of it, since Lua 5.1 and the PCRE library seem to
have support for pkg-config, I will probably switch to using in the next
release...
