pine is not released under the GPL but under an extremely restrictive license, which is what (from what i understand) keeps it from being installed from the fedora cds. i havn't tried in about 4+ years, so it has probably changed, but from what i remember pine and pico (come in the same tar) are extremely difficult to compile. i did a quick google for "pine fedora apt" and the second link was: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/pine/ so, there you go... install the pine from dag's repository and your life will be easier. i have no idea how reputable the repository is, but i've heard alot of good things about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe(theWordy)Philbrook" <jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2004 07:47:56 +0000 (UTC) To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: OH @$#%%$$#^ Fedora doesn't do mc pine or lyx ??????????? > It would appear that on Apr 5, William Penton did say: > > > Have you checked the install cds?
