Re: Mutt and Ubuntu



On Monday, August 25 at 03:07 PM, quoth Derek Martin:
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:

If I compile against slang, it works as expected.

Interesting... what terminal are you using, and what's your TERM variable set to? What version of ncurses-dev do you have installed?

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).

VERY interesting! Perhaps their package has some unique patch applied?
