Also, are there any specific steps that need to be taken when I haven't ever seen it, so I wonder if it's a problem that crept in by using diffs to get from .24 to .27. Certainly the PATCHES functionality was [re-]added in that gap; it looks awfully suspicious. Without you to test and poke, though, I doubt any of us will be able to come up with an answer for you. % patching mutt either using diff's or third-party patches? I haven't used the diff method to change versions, but it really should be straightforward and I can't think of any special procedures. When applying third-party patches, things can get hairy. You might surf over to http://mutt.justpickone.org/ and take a look at the build cocktail directory and some of the files at the top. You can see how I put together the whole mess in 00.makeme.sh, and any patch that ends in dtg has been tweaked to fit my installation. % % regards, HTH HAND % % Sharukh. % -- % Dr. Sharukh K. R.

errors while compiling mutt-1.3.27
Hi, I have been lurking on this list for quite some time. I am at present using mutt 1.3.23i which I had built from the tarball. I have now downloaded the diff's for upgrading to 1.3.27. I put the diff's in the main mutt source directory and patched the source. I got a few errors while patching, something wrt the .po file with three hunks (of the same name) failing for each patch applied. I remember someone mentioning on the list that these were not *essential* and so I went ahead with ./configure which gave no errors. But, when I try make install I get the following errors: [root@farzaan mutt-1.3.27]# make install make: *** No rule to make target `PATCHES', needed by `patchlist.c'. Stop. - I can't find a patchlist.c anywhere on my pc. I am using a stock install of RedHAt 7.1. I'm afraid my knowledge of programming is zero (I am a doctor of medicine). So if some kind soul can please pull me out of this :-). I am on a dial-up line so I would prefer not to have to download the 1.3.27 source in toto. reagards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R.
