solved Re: pine?

[Michael Jinks <mjinks@uchicago.edu>]

Pine compiles for me now; things I did:

# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

install -dev portion of ncurses package

add "-llber" to the compile options in the "build" script (alternatively
could have adjusted it to build without LDAP support)

That last I'd call a bug in the Debian source package; I assume that the
maintainers must know about it by now but how would I figure out the right
person to report it to?  Once again, Debian newbie here...

Thanks for all the help from the list.
