The answer is from joachim.riedel@gmx.net "I had the same problem after compiling Mutt for FreeBSD 3.4. It seems that Mutt since Version 1.1.14 (and therefore also 1.2) checks in configure for some ncurses-functions. I recompiled it forcing HAVE_COLOR in config.h. FreeBSD 4.0 uses a newer version of ncurses and the problem is gone. "If HAVE_COLOR is undefined mutt will give you the mentioned error. "I suggest to convince your admin to check for HAVE_COLOR and recompile mutt, maybe he needs a new GNU ncurses lib... "Hope that will help, Joachim" So I (Dave) did the following for the mutt port: 1. make all 2. edit config.h so that HAVE_COLOR is #defined 3. make install -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
