Re: Testing GNUMail under Linux/Gentoo

[Catherine Luedecker]

Yea, see I have installed gnustep-make/base 1.6.0 and the back/gui is 
version 0.8.5

According the gnustep website, these are stable packages except that I 
was told today by Ludo that there is a small bug in the base package but 
is fixed in cvs version.  

Anyhow, with Ludo's help, I was able to compile Pantomime and GNUMail. 
But there was a little work involved.  For one thing I had to downgrade 
my freetype2 to 2.0.0 from the 2.1.4 version.  It was nice to have it 
working but then other apps started to break so......long story short, I 
wont be using GNUMail until I figure out how to patch my freetype package.

René, thank you for going thru this trouble.
