How can I install the newest pan newsreader 0.147?
Pan is as old as the internet almost, it is the only standalone newsreader client that runs on Linux that I can get to work, too many require a web browser. It was not maintained for a long time until now. However I had problems installing it with gmime 2.x dependencies.
configure: error: Package requirements (gmime-2.6 >= 2.6.20) were not met:
Solution 1:
there is (ironically not a usenet group) an email support list here
get pan source from http://pan.rebelbase.com/
you might need , but probably not https://download-fallback.gnome.org/sources/gmime/
./configure --with-gmime30
make
sudo make install
they have fixed the error with 0.146 that made a mess out of the saved parts with ERRORS
another alternative suggested is
./configure --with-gnutls
