FWIW, pan builds just fine here on gentoo/~amd64, with gmime-2.6.pc. Of course on gentoo/amd64, for historical reasons (gentoo developed its amd64 support before a standard multilib location was defined) lib is generally a symlink to lib64, with people running multilib (I'm 64-bit- only, here) having a lib32 for their 32-bit libs. So the lib -> lib64 symlink may help. But you're probably missing some --with-lib-path=/usr/lib64 or some such parameter, fed to configure or the like. But that's a bit beyond my level so I don't really have specific instructions for you, unfortunately. FWIW, I remember all the issues I used to have with split -dev(el) packages, dependency hell, etc, trying to either find updated rpms oon rpmfind or build from source back on Mandrake (this was ~2002-2004, I switched to gentoo in 2004), and I'm SOOOO glad I run a from-source distro like gentoo now, where most of that sort of stuff "just works". So I can certainly sympathize with your plight, but there /is/ a way out, gentoo, if you want to take that step. (FWIW, gentoo is sort of half way between lfs, Linux from scratch, and a normal binary distro. And arch linux is sort of half way between gentoo and a binary distro. So there's a line, binary distro, arch, gentoo, lfs, and a lot of former gentooers AND former standard binary distro users end up on arch. But for me, gentoo's about as perfect a match as ever appears in reality, so that's where I've stayed since I discovered it.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
