I don't even try compiling anything -- far beyond my linux competence,
even after years. But I not only still run Pine, I got linux for that main
purpose in the first place. Pine used to be a standard component of all
RedHat releases, from at least 6.0 through 9; I think it was Fedora that
quit. Something to do with licenses; and the Pinemasters at UW on
comp.mail.pine say apologetically that they're constrained by law to stick
with that license; IANAL, but I have counted on those people for years.

With straight Fedora it's easy enough to find rpms you can download
and install; I run pine on three FC1 machines and an FC3 -- did under FC2
on the testbed machine till I upgraded that to FC3.

But I have yet to find an rpm for pine that I can install to our G3 iBook
with YDL 4.0 -- and we run it much less because of that. *P*l*e*a*s*e*
contribute your build to a standard repo as soon as you're sure of it!
Pretty please! With sugar on it. And post to this list when you do. TIA,
effusively. Bless you!
