Mutt and Ubuntu



Hi all,

I was trying to compile mutt from the latest sources on my work
desktop, which is running, I believe, the latest Ubuntu release.  What
I found is, if I compile against ncurses, the arrows which show thread
relationships are drawn as a series of off ASCII characters, like so:

  T~T�T~@>RE:
  �T~T�T~@>

If I compile against slang, it works as expected.  Also, Ubuntu's
package (based on Mutt 1.5.15+20070412 (2007-04-11)) is compiled
against ncurses, and that works fine (though I think it had a weird
interaction with some environment variable, which I fixed by unsetting
the variable).

Anyone seen this before?  My locale is set up correctly, and as I
mentioned other compilations of Mutt, plus several other curses
applications, all seem to work fine.  I tried configuring mutt with
and without all of the following options:

  --enable-locales-fix, --without-wc-funcs

I tried with both off, both on, and then each in turn by itself.  Any
clues?

Oh, another oddity is that the latest version (from the mercurial
repository, obtained via " hg clone http://dev.mutt.org/hg/mutt";)
reports that it is Mutt 1.5.14:
