Re: Installation fails because of mutt_dotlock
Hello (Bonjour) Vincent,
I didn't get your previous emails on this topic though I've been
subscribed to the list for months - so I hope my email will not look
like some information you already got from this list.

Mutt can be told to use the mutt_dotlock of your choice, for example I
have this in .muttrc:
set dotlock_program="/usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock"
#
# Name: dotlock_program
# Type: path
# Default: "/usr/bin/mutt_dotlock"
#
#
# Contains the path of the mutt_dotlock (8) binary to be used by
# mutt.
#
If you want "make install" to not die on the permission error and
continue as much as it can, "make -k install" could help.
Au revoir.
