These checks are specified by 'configure.in', which is found in the top directory of the pan sources: PCRE_REQUIRED=5.0 GLIB_REQUIRED=2.4.0 GMIME_REQUIRED=2.1.0 GTK_REQUIRED=2.4.0 GNOME_REQUIRED=2.0 GTKSPELL_REQUIRED=2.0.7 You can see that you still need to deal with gtkspell and gnome after you finish with gtk ;o) [...] > So I went to the Debian packages site to look up gtk+ and found a > number of candidates including libgtk+2.0-dev but this only threw up a > LOT of dependencies which I don't have...

Yes, but (I'm guessing) that they will all be the '-dev' versions of things you already have on your machine. These 'dev' packages don't take up a lot of space and likewise should not take long to download or install. They usually contain header files which go in /usr/include (i.e. files named *.h) and package-config files which go in /usr/lib/pkgconfig (files named *.pc). You can run pan okay, so you clearly already have all the required libraries installed -- those are the big bulky packages which take time to download. It should be painless to get the rest of the way there, so bite the bullet :o) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
