I also don't really know autotools, so my goal here was to get in and out without too much fuss to get a working pan on my system. I basically couldn't figure out a way to specify any gmime version above 2.4 (specifically including 2.5/2.6). That may be on purpose, or there may be a way; I don't know. I suppose, in an ideal world, Fedora would have provided a gmime24 compatibility package and this wouldn't be an issue, but alas, no such package exists today (maybe it should?). If that is so, then maybe just best to ignore the gmime patches for now. _______________________________________________ Pan-devel mailing list Pan-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-devel
