It was a rather quixotic request.  Nothing I found in google looked
familiar, none looked like an obvious trustable source, and I only use
that Mac once in a while anyway.  I probably should have never brought
up the subject, it was only the sort of thinking out loud idea that
was probably better left silent =:-O

Well, we've no way of knowing where you downloaded that from, but google
suggests several places you can get Mac binaries from, of which one is
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Mutt.shtml (sorry, I'm
not really au fait with Macs, but I think that's for the OS you want).

It might be quicker than asking here and waiting for replies though ;)

I could do all that, but I know I didn't do it for the one laptop that
does have mutt 1.5.18 on it.  Somewhere out there is a pre-compiled
binary, from a trusted source, that I downloaded before, and I'd like
to do that again.  Wanting mutt on this second laptop is simply not
important enough to download Xcode and go thru all those steps, and
there is no other software that I want to put on here either.

By default, Mac OS X does not install GCC or anything of that sort.
If you want those kinds of goodies, find your 10.4 Tiger install disc
and install the Xcode Tools package (which gets you all the standard
compilers plus the Xcode developer tools) --- and even the X11 package
(which gets you the X Window stuff).  If you can't find said install
disc, sign up for a free online membership with the Apple Developer
Connection and download Xcode straight from Apple.



Hopefully their site will figure out that you're using Tiger and will
give you the right link to download Xcode 2.5.



Or you can Google for someone else's download of Xcode 2.5, but that's
an exercise left for the gentle reader...

Darwinports seems pretty cool (just a sidenote) but link :-) 

http://mutt.darwinports.com/
Other than that I'm pretty sure you can download the tarballs and proceed as 
usual. I have been wrong before though :-)

I cringe but ask anyway: how do I download mutt for Mac 10.4?

2010-02-26 Thread felix 
I need to download mutt for an old Mac laptop (x86) running 10.4.  I
tried compiling but have no C compiler.  I have another mac which has
mutt on it but seems to have broken net access, and frankly, mutt has
been on there so long that I have forgotten how I got it on there.  It
is running version 1.5.18 (2008-05-17), it says.

I mostly run Linux, and I'm used to compiling from source, not sure
about this brave new world of pre-compiled binaries :-O but I am
pretty sure that's how the other Mac got its mutt.  But my google-fu
is weak and doesn't bring enlightenment.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.  This is no emergency,
just a chore I've been putting off for a while.
