- My email to you doesn't seem to be making it and since this may
- be of interest to people here I am posting to comp.elm.mail.
-
- In summary: I tried to build elm2.4 under AIX 3.2 on a IBM RS6000.
- I got a bug--whenever I received mail and kept it in /usr/spool/mail/user
- after reading it I got an error saying: problems restoring permissions to
- /usr/spool/mail/user. Upon exiting elm I found that elm had changed the
- group ownership on the file ./user from mail to that of the group of the
- user. I subsequently (sp?) found out that elm2.4 is not officially released
- or supported (it may be now--this was some months ago). So I got elm2.3
- and built that with only one fix.
- Run the regular Configure. When it askes for :
- "Any additional cc flags"
- give it:
- -lcurses -U__STR__
-
- Then, when it lets you edit the config.sh file, search for :
- -ltermcap (or was that -ltermlib.....)
- and erase it (Not the WHOLE line, just the -l... between the
- '')
