I run this and get the following: make[3]: Leaving directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12/m4' Making all in po make[3]: Entering directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12/po' cd .. \ && CONFIG_FILES=po/Makefile.in CONFIG_HEADERS= \ /bin/sh ./config.status creating po/Makefile.in linking ./intl/libgettext.h to intl/libintl.h make[3]: Leaving directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12/po' make[3]: Entering directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12/po' file=./echo de | sed 's,.*/,,'.gmo \ && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH no -o $file de.po /bin/sh: no: command not found make[3]: *** [de.gmo] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12/po' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12' make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory /root/temp/mutt-1.3.12' make: *** [build] Error 2 For now I've added the --disable-nls option to the debian/rules file as a workaround, as I can do without multi-lingual support. After doing that, it compiles - I'm using the version I compiled now. I'm just kinda wondering what I did wrong. > $ debian/rules binary > $ dpkg -i ../mutt<version>.deb > $ echo "mutt hold" | dpkg --set-selections These steps were no problem, once I got the thing to compile. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | He that is slow to believe anything and | everything is of great understanding, '91 GS500E | for belief in one false principle is the Morgantown WV | beginning of all unwisdom.
