Looks like you need to hg up -C HEAD
Compare `hg parents` to `hg tip`, or just `hg parents | grep tip`.
As for the gdbm error, something like
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/include ...
might work.
or just port install mutt (with whatever combination of flags is
needed. I don't remember the macports syntax very well).
FWIW, here's how easy it is to get mutt with fink:
1. install fink
2. enable the unstable tree
3. append to /sw/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/apt/10.5 unstable main crypto
4. apt-get update
5. apt-get install mutt
I put 1.5.19 into fink last night. The binary may not be ready for
another day or two (the autobuilder sometimes gets backlogged).
