Thank you. I personally tend to not care if my own software breaks on SunOS 4.1.3 or Solaris 2.3 or Red Hat Linux 5.1 (that's not the newer Enterprise stuff, but the 1990's allround distro). >> Also, I prefer $SHELL over sh because I have found Solaris's sh to be >> too broken to care about, and need to use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead. >> Hardcoding a path-less sh forfeits that. > > configure is already hardcoded to use /bin/sh, so I don't think that is > a problem. Does the configure script fail for you under Solaris? Michael, Not configure, but during testing I found various fixes needed (sending PATCH 0...3 of 3 with hg email separately). I still have an issue, where helper tools and possibly mutt itself do not find requisite libraries: Making all in doc ld.so.1: makedoc: fatal: libdb-4.8.so: open failed: No such file or directory I need to figure if this is due to linker configuration on the system, or due to the build omitting required options on Solaris. It links a bit differently at run-time than Linux does (see: man crle). TTYL, Matthias
