i'm giving another go at getting the beta mutt to compile on an outdated linux machine (for which i don't have root access).
i'm not sure what distribution it is, although i'd guess redhat; kernel is really old (2.0.36). i have my own ncurses and libiconv installed in my home directory. i'm configuring with: LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/home/will/lib ./configure --prefix=/home/will --with-libiconv-prefix=/home/will --with-curses=/home/will/ i then get this error: gcc -DPKGDATADIR=\"/home/will/share/mutt\" -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/home/will/etc\" -DBINDIR=\"/home/will/bin\" -DMUTTLOCALEDIR=\"/home/will/share/locale\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H=1 -I. -I. -Iintl -I/home/will//include -I/home/will/include -I./intl -I/home/will/include -Wall -pedantic -g -O2 -c patchlist.c In file included from protos.h:20, from mutt.h:811, from patchlist.c:5: mbyte.h:23: conflicting types for `wcwidth' /usr/include/wchar.h:209: previous declaration of `wcwidth' make[2]: *** [patchlist.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/will/mutt-1.3.25' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/will/mutt-1.3.25' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 sepia% uname -srm Linux 2.0.36 i686 ideas? w
