Wouldn't it be better to use the pine*-src and pine*-diff Debian packages? I believe that these create the necessary patches to fit it in a Debian system and then builds a local pine*.deb. I haven't done this, but this is what most of the *-src package that Debian distributes do. That way it is all under Debian package managment. -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
