Re: how to print (was: extracting sender's name for use in a script?)



oh dear.  maybe i should not have used the word "compile", but
there is a small C-component to this program, for when you
give the command "make", here's what you see:
=========================================================
make -C langinfo 
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/langinfo'
cc  -c -o main.o main.c
cc  -c -o muttprint-langinfo.o muttprint-langinfo.c
cc  -o muttprint-langinfo muttprint-langinfo.o main.o
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/langinfo'
=========================================================

that looks ok, but "make install" (as root) bombs with this
message:

=========================================================
...
install: cannot stat `manual-de/*.css': No such file or
directory
make[2]: *** [install] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/doc/manual/de'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/drip/src/mutt/muttprint-0.72d/doc/manual'
make: *** [install] Error 2
=========================================================

I played around trying out different things, but eventually
concluded that it would not work for me.  Maybe it works
better in German?
