apt-get mutt ?????



Hi All

I have been struggling to get mutt installed on my 2.2r3 poptato system. 

When I run apt-get install mutt it works fine however when I go into it the cursor just flashes and nothing else works. I then read somewhere that the followingf needs to be installed:

ncurses and
slang

A normal apt-get on either of these did not work so I then downloaded the tar.gz and ran it like that. Both installed no problem. 

I need mutt with ssl support so I tried to do an apt-get openssl which worked fine. 

Here is where the problem came in. Because mutt did not function after apt-get install mutt I donwloaded the latest mutt-1.3.26i.tar.gz. Then I ran the following ./configure --enable-pop --enable-imap --with-ssl, and I got this error:

checking for X509_new in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: Unable to find SSL library

I then donwloaded the latest openssl, the install went fine but still the same error 

checking for X509_new in -lcrypto... no
configure: error: Unable to find SSL library

whether I point it to the relevant directories or just leave it as --with-ssl. 

I have managed to sort out mutt itself now, seems to be running fine however I don't think it has the ssl support. 

I have tried to run apt-get install openssl-dev but then I get this error:

apt-get install openssl-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package openssl-dev

I have added extras in my soucres.list file but still no go. 

Thanks
