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

E: Couldn't find package openssl-dev
I have added extras in my soucres.list file but still no go.
Thanks
