Hello
Having problems compiling pine. I am a mutt user myself but
I installed debian woody on a friends computer and he insists that
he wants to use pine.
I decided to practise on my home machine first and did the

1. Create a directory /usr/src/pine
2. Changed to that directory
3.
Thankyou to all who responded.
Seems to be no consensus - which ain't a bad thing
