This is a great work around for the multi-part PAN issue. I’ve now done this fix on an older Linux Mint distro, a Dell Studio running 10.10 Meerkat 64 bit, and now the latest, a triple boot mactel pro 8,2 running 10.10 32 bit using the same steps and all 3 have gone through without one error, no problems at all.

Someone should bronze this article and keep it as long as PAN is still in the PPA’s.

Caleb & Mark H:

Sorry so long in replying…

I just went through this process with Ubuntu 10.4, and aside from the git git-core to gitk change discussed above, I had NO issues.

I’m not using studio, however, so I don’t have much of an answer for you.

Mark H: If you could post what distro you’re using, and what kernel you have, it might make troubleshooting easier.

It looks like no one has replied to it, but I have the same problem as Mark H above;

post-ui.cc: In member function ‘void pan::PostUI::set_message(GMimeMessage*)’:

using ubuntu 9.10 w/ latest updates,
I am showing errors after make. I think the autogen exited without errors. This is the end of the autogen …..

Configuration:

Source code location: .

With GtkSpell: no

Now type `make’ to compile Pan
mark@laptop:~/src/pan2$ make
make all-recursive

After entering sh ./autogen.sh –prefix=$HOME, I got the following error message: “You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME CVS.” Would appreciate any help on what to do next.
