There's room for all, thankfully! The basic difference between gentoo and most other linux distributions is that *everything* in gentoo is compiled from source code right from the install -- and as a result of this focus on compiling things from source code (rather than installing already-compiled binaries) gentoo users don't need to worry about whether they have all of the development tools installed. The devel tools are installed by default.

For future reference: $ pkg-config --modversion gmime [this is what you type] 2.1.14 [this is what you should get as a response] I'm assuming that Darren's advice will fix your problem, but I would suggest repeating the commands above just to see what happens. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
