I recently installed mutt (1.4) on a number of solaris machines: sol7 and sol8. I needed libiconv and I certainly had to be root, regardless of my target. It was not a simple install but it did work reliably once I did the configure correctly per below:
I first set LD_RUN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib ./configure --disable-nls --enable-buffy --enable-locales-fix --enable-pop - -with-regex --prefix=..... I guess the with-regex is sort of critical for solaris.

Do you want me to find out what ICONV_NONTRANS is and report back? I only pasted it because you did, and I figured you'd be irritated if I didn't include mine. You don't really have room to be snotty today. Today it's *your* problem that someone else is trying to contribute information to. > besides, you did not specify > the kind of solaris you use. No, I didn't. I probably should have, but neglected to because I've had success on all recent revs -- some minor issues on 7, but it works perfectly on 8, which is what you use. No trouble along these lines on 9 beta, either. I haven't upgraded to 9 FCS yet. I'll add that I don't have any particularly strange libraries linked. The usual Sun base and networking libraries, libgen for regexes. I suppose you might not have libintl (mine does, of course), but that would be very strange on your side. Sven, if you have a question, please ask. But don't get irritable because I didn't dissect my installation to find out why yours doesn't work. Perhaps you should post your configure output, or mail it to me directly. I'd be glad to look over it, if you like. -- -D. We establised a fine coffee.
