Re: [lists] Re: [Pan-users] Difficulty In Compiling 0.99

[Darren Albers]

I think the package you want is libgmime2.1-dev.  Alternately if my
packages have been working for you the package for .99 is available at
http://darrenalbers.com/Pan/  To make it easier for Charles I am going
to start hosting my packages myself so he can just link them.  Generally
I upload the latest package early on Sundays.

If it does work please let me know so I can note that for other Mepis users.

Thanks,
Darren
