I don't even try compiling anything -- far beyond my linux competence, even after years. But I not only still run Pine, I got linux for that main purpose in the first place. Pine used to be a standard component of all RedHat releases, from at least 6.0 through 9; I think it was Fedora that quit. Something to do with licenses; and the Pinemasters at UW on comp.mail.pine say apologetically that they're constrained by law to stick with that license; IANAL, but I have counted on those people for years. With straight Fedora it's easy enough to find rpms you can download and install; I run pine on three FC1 machines and an FC3 -- did under FC2 on the testbed machine till I upgraded that to FC3. But I have yet to find an rpm for pine that I can install to our G3 iBook with YDL 4.0 -- and we run it much less because of that. *P*l*e*a*s*e* contribute your build to a standard repo as soon as you're sure of it! Pretty please! With sugar on it. And post to this list when you do. TIA, effusively. Bless you! -- Beartooth Neo-Redneck, Linux Evangelist FC 12&3, YDL 4; Pine 4.63, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.1; Dillo-0.8.4, Opera 8.0, Firefox 1.0.3 Remember that I have little idea what I am talking about. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
