Re: [Pan-users] Compiling Error Pan 0.1.36

[Chrome307]

Firstly thank you to all who have replied and provided instructions.

 

I would like to apologise regarding the use of html ( yes I am a newbie ! ).

 

Just to clarify my linux kernel is :  2.6.33.2

 

also the pan build I am attempting to compile is : 0.136 ( this was a typo ).

 

I also in haste pasted the wrong 'output' on pastebin .... this had all the options turned off.

 

However I have done this again with the correct options, but still received the same errors.

 

Finally I attempted to compile the application using a pristine copy of my OS with only the developer/compiler tools running using only the basic installation instructions and this time I received an error message informing me that GMime 2.4 was required.  I only added this piece of software and went through the same process but still have the same errors.

 

I am using the 'source' software which is a few days old, I will however use GIT and clone the repository and try again.

 

Regards

chrome

 

btw, is it worth adding the output dialog of my most recent failed attempt here in text format only?

I see you've a couple replies already, including a try-again request from
Heinrich, so I'll let you try that, for now.  Meanwhile, however, a
couple other points.

1) I don't know your distro, but your versions appear to be REALLY
screwed up.

* The 2.6 kernel ended with 2.6.39.  The next kernel, which would have
been 2.6.40, was renumbered as 3.0.  So there's no such thing as 2.6.332
-- by nearly three hundred microversions!  Maybe the 332 indicates kernel
3.3.2, with a 2.6 prefix attached to try to fool old software?  I know
some distros are doing tricks like that, but do try to find out what
(upstream) kernel version you're actually running, and report it as such,
or it's of little use reporting at all.

* Similarly, pan should be 0.136.  0.1.x was a VERY long time ago!  (I've
been running pan since I switched to Linux in late 2001, and IIRC started
with the then gnome-1 based pan 0.11.something, so 0.1.x must /surely/ be
back into the last century, probably several years back into the last
century!)

2) If you must post in HTML, please at least turn it off for the pan
list.  There are reasons pan doesn't do HTML, and some of us actually
read this list using pan via list2news conversion to newsgroup at
gmane.org.  Your post looked VERY ugly in pan due to the HTML.  I know
this was your first post to the list and didn't realize, which is why I'm
asking.  Just now that you know, please use plain text only for your
messages, at least to this list, from now on.  Thanks.  =:^)
