Any idea what's going wrong here?

Sounds like you're missing the header files needed to compile Ruby
extensions. If the dev headers don't come with your distro's Ruby
package by default, there should be a separate package for them. For
example, in Debian/Ubuntu, you'd want to install the ruby1.9-dev
package: sudo apt-get install ruby1.9-dev

install.
Sadly it will now complain about the 'from' IMAP URI.
$ /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/bin/larch -n
Config error: 'from' must be a valid IMAP URI (e.g. imap://example.com)
I tried various things and in the end also put actually imap://example.com
in my config file but still it complains.

Can you post either the exact command line options you're using, or
the contents of your config file (with placeholders instead of any
secret usernames/passwords/hostnames)?

/var/lib/gems/1.9.0/bin/larch -n -f imaps://mail.example.com
would be recognised but
/var/lib/gems/1.9.0/bin/larch -n -f imaps://mail.example.no
not. So I think there is something fishy going on with domains that
are not out of the .com space.
/HeX
PS: config file is coming up.
Ryan Grove
Ah, interesting. It looks like Ruby's URI validation is unwisely
trying (and failing) to validate domain names as well. I'll look into
this.

After investigating myself with both Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.1, the .no URI
validates just fine. Based on your gem path, it looks like you may be
using Ruby 1.9.0. It's possible there's a bug in the URI lib in that
version of Ruby, but I don't have an easy way to test it. Would you
consider upgrading to 1.9.1?

again after the upgrade. But I will test it also with 1.8.7 which is
currently shipped with 9.04 in parallel with 1.9.0.

just like to confirm that the problem persists also when running under
ryby 1.8.7 (just as you found out yourself).

Actually, it works fine for me on 1.8.7. I'm testing on OS X; I wonder
if this could be a problem specific to Ubuntu's Ruby distribution?

$ .gem/ruby/1.8/bin/larch -n --from imaps://mail.example.com
Config error: 'to' must be a valid IMAP URI (e.g. imap://example.com)
with imap:// it works. Well the URI is accepted but my mailserver is
actually using imaps so that doesnt help ;)
/HeX
HeX
but not if I put the same URIs in the configuration file.
HeX
result. The URIs are not accepted when fed via a config file. Since
Karmic comes now with the updated version of imapsync (which can be
used with GMAIL) I've fallen back to that solution...sorry.
