Heh. The reason I switched to gentoo is that the debian packaging system simply defeats me. Recently I tried installing ubuntoo (also based on the debian/apt-get system) and I still can't figure out how to install what I need :o( > Trying to ./configure the source code for pan 0.99 prior to > compiling bombs out with: > > checking for GMIME... configure: error: Package requirements > (gmime-2.0 >= 2.1.0) were not met... The 'configure' script often uses the pkg-config utility to test for required software. For example, try this: $pkg-config --modversion gmime 2.1.14 You can see that I have gmime version 2.1.14 installed on my machine. If you don't routinely compile software, you may not even have the required 'development' packages installed on your machine. Difficult to say without more info from you about your setup and your level of experience with building software. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
