Beartooth--
You should be able to install Pan on Fedora 41 (which I use on most
systems) using:
sudo dnf install pan
Alas, Fedora 41 has only an old version of pan in the fedora repositories:
Version : 0.149
Release : 4.fc38
Source : pan-0.149-4.fc38.src.rpm
Petr Kovar is or was the Pan project maintainer for the Fedora distro,
but Fedora 38 was aeons ago.

I build Pan from Dominique Dumont's repo:
-https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/releases
...but it is not so very simple as it might be. You will probably have to
examine configure failures to find which packages are needed to install (often
only the -devel package is needed to supplement whatever package(s) caused the
failure). I use KDE exclusively and do not know what differences you may
encounter in GNOME. It is definitely worth it to try and get Dumont's latest
version because he has done very good things with the code and the project in
general.
I am pretty sure I recognize your nick from appearance over many years, so
please forgive me if I am insulting your intelligence; not my intention.

I'm tweaking two new (to me) PCs -- a job I haven't done in years.
Both are running Fedora 41 Mate. I've gotten the programs installed that I
depend on most -- EXCEPT Pan itself. (It's running on a third PC.)
Every pointer I've followed has led me to approaches way over my
head, despite the fact I've depended heavily on Pan for my survival since
before the new millennium.
Am I missing some obvious source of an rpm for Pan that I can just
download and run "dnf install" with?? Is there a way to copy the whole
surviving kit & caboodle off the old PC onto the new ones?
