Apps :: Pine

Has anyone compiled Pine on DSL? I managed to do this on Ubuntu (on an iMac) but it was difficult, due to dependency issues.

Is there anywhere to get more info (I will possibly post on comp.mail.pine) or any way to install a binary.

How about

Enable APT

sudo su
apt-get install pine

Debian do not support (or carry) Pine, as although it is free, it does not fall under the GNU license

Hi,

I am also trying to get Pine to work.

Downloaded 'pine_4.64_i386.deb' from the web, used 'dpkg -i' to install.

Got a series of dependency problems, involving the following packages/libraries:

libc6
libldap2
libncurses5
mime-support

exim
mailx

For example, in the case of libc6, the dpkg message said that the version installed was the latest but then noted that a higher version number was required.

Any suggestions on installing Pine?

Regards,

Geoff.

Try getting an older version of Pine in *.deb format.

DSL uses Debian "Oldstable" repository, so the libc6 version is out-of-date.

I suppose you could change your /etc/apt/sources.list file to point at Debian "Stable" or Debian "Testing", but then you would need to upgrade libc6.

If it were my choice, I'd get an older pine version pine_olderversion.deb and then dpkg -i it and then apt get the unmet dependencies.
