A few words: 
SciFi is right. The pan source tree is built with autotools,
hence you need to do : 
sh autogen.sh

The SSL code is still a little experimental. It works for me
with every server I've tried, but feel free to be my guest and post 
any errors you encounter.
If you build with gtk3, omit gtkspell as it creates aborts with gtk3.
Gtk3 support is theoretically there, but I noticed a few errors 
regarding the window widths etc.
Better use gtk2 (standard).
If you're on a debian/ubuntu system, make a 
sudo apt-get build-dep pan first. That will bring in all the dependencies
pan needs. Else, goes to pan's homepage and look for yourself.

Good luck.
