Hi,

I'm having problems installing PINE 4.44 from source on Debian Linux.
I copied the source-file to /tmp and ran 'build slx', this produces alot of
output. At the stage of building Pico and Pine things go wrong.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
Which results in error 1

I included some of the output, maybe one of you can help me out.

Thanx in advance!

Debian splits libraries into runtime and development packages. You need
the development packages to compile software. Install libncurses5-dev,
and try it again.

Actually, I figure you need more. When you'll start building the pine
source package (as detailed in my other message) you'll get some error
messages regarding packages that are missing. For instance: libldap2-dev
or something similar for ldap support and libssl0-dev (or something
similar) for ssl support.

debian has an existing pine source package, which compiles well
(anecdotial evidence)

Generally what you need to do is:

apt-get source pine
cd pine-4.44
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

If all goes well, you should get a number of deb packages, that you can
install on your system. Also install the pine-tracker package to keep
track of new pine versions...

Thank you for answering, this did the trick!
Since I'm a newbie to Linux this also contributed to my knowledge about the
phenomenon.
