If the emacs youʼre using was built '--with-mailutils', then movemail
indeeed doesnʼt get installed in libexec. You can in that case specify
the path to the correct movemail binary by customizing

mail-source-movemail-program

to the full path.

The fact that Gnus doesnʼt detect this situation automatically the way
eg rmail does is arguably a bug in gnus.
