Wow, Travis, thanks for advancing the conversation and putting me in my place. At first I got really mad and wrote a much snarkier reply, but thought better of it. I hope you accept my apologies for my previous transgressions. I can only hope this message is correctly formatted and will not further grump-ify you.
I have now compiled the code from the github on two fairly fresh Ubuntu systems, and have (I think) perfected the art of chasing down the requisite programs & libraries. The following is a complete list of commands that I used to accomplish the build. Note that I install the package-maintainer's version of Pan so that I more easily get the menu items, etc. $ sudo apt-get install pan git git-core gnome-common libgtk2.0-dev libpcre3-dev libgmime-2.4-dev $ cd ~ $ mkdir src $ cd src $ git clone git://github.com/lostcoder/pan2.git $ cd pan2 $ sh ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/<MY USER NAME> $ make $ make install $ cd /usr/bin $ sudo mv pan pan.OLD $ sudo cp /home/scottkuma/bin/pan . $ sudo chown root: pan I've documented this along with some explanation of why I did certain commands at my blog: http://scottkuma.net I hope this helps some folks who love the program as much as I do, and who felt as lost as I did when it didn't work out of the box in Karmic Koala!! -- Best Regards - Scott Pettigrew N8VSI sc...@scottkuma.net On Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 7:09 PM, Travis <travis.shorel...@gmail.com> wrote: > <<SNIP>> > > HTML formatted messages are frowned upon here. > -- > Travis in Shoreline Washington > > _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
