Well, that's interesting because no matter how I try, I can't get my head around Gentoo :o) Ubuntu uses its own repositories and often Debian packages not compiled for Ubuntu will not run properly under Ubuntu and vice-versa.... Anyway, I digress! The output I get from your suggestion is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pkg-config --modversion gmime 2.1.14 Package gmime was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gmime.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gmime' found Package 2.1.14 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `2.1.14.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package '2.1.14' found [snipped] > You can see that I have gmime version 2.1.14 installed on my > machine.

Difficult to say without more info from you about your > setup and your level of experience with building software. I don't regularly compile binaries from source, but its not unknown. As you can see, gmime-2.1 is not on my system, nor the version you have. However, the Debian repositories come up zero when trying to find gmime-2.1, its not in any of the repositories in my sources.list, and googling comes up zero. Pan 0.98 installs well from the .deb. The last version of Pan I compiled from source was 0.91, and it compiled OK. So unless I can get gmime-2.1.0 from somewhere, I can't compile Pan 0.99 -- Graham _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
