I have just down loaded and compiled mutt-0.95.7i, but it issues segmentation faults when executed. The relevant strace output is: read(3, "\7\0\r\0\33[%i%p1%d;%p2%dr\0\33[3g\0\33[H\33[J"..., 720) = 720 close(3) = 0 ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B9600 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(1, TCGETS, {B9600 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(1, TIOCGWINSZ, {ws_row=30, ws_col=132, ws_xpixel=0, ws_ypixel=0}) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ There is no problem if compiled with the --with-slang configure parameter. I have recently upgraded my libc, and with it ncurses. so that my new ncurses.so.5.0 is untested. Comments would be appreciated. Cheers, Mike Dowling -- Dr. Michael L.
