It was discussed on mutt-dev (see its archives) to fix
installation for certain conditions, maybe it applies to you, too,
and just hasn't been implemented yet.

Typically the problem is that mutt_dotlock needs chgrp "mail" +
chmod sgid, which fails for non-root. After you "configur"ed,
edit your Makefile and prepend ':' in front of those 2 cmds for
mutt_dotlock.
