I had one heck of a time getting pine/pico installed on Core 1. Finally
getting it to work, I assumed there is at least one other person who is
having this problem. Here's how I got to install...
Installing the pine rpm from RH's archive (via apt-get, yum, or
whatever) failed, needing libcom_err.so.3. A quick check revealed that
this is part of Kerberos, and not included in Core 1 for some reason.
A little bit of research told me that the easiest way around that was to
recompile the pine source on Fedora, taking the libcom absence into
account. A post from Mike Harris pointed me to his repository
(ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable/pine) that includes
his recompiled rpm of pine that works like a charm on Fedora.
So, just download Mike's rpm
(ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/unstable/pine/4.58-2/i386/pine-4.58-2.i386.rpm) and install that baby:
(as root, of course)
cd /path/that/contains/pine
rpm -ivh pine-4.58-2/i386.rpm
and that should do it.
Please let me know if this was helpful at all,

Just to note -- it came up before, that frequently this problem can be solved by:
ln -sf libcom_err.so.3 libcom_err.so.2
There are reports to this list suggesting that the above works and others suggesting it doesn't under what sound like the same circumstances. On one of our installations, we got postgresql working with this trick. On another machine, it was sufficient to get Pine working.
