Subject: Compilation of Pine 3.92 for Linux/ELF

Hello,

to compile the source code for Linux running kernel 1.3.59 I had to make
some changes to the sources (see attached file). These had to do with
changing some of the compiler and linker flags, and the definition of the
variable errno in many of the source files. This variable should not be
defined by any program, just include <errno.h> for the definition.

Kind regards,

Kees de Bruin

>defined by any program, just include <errno.h> for the definition.

This patch fixes the linker errors, but does not resolve the problem
I have with sending mail via Pine.  Unless I have an smtp server
defined in either ~/.pinerc or in /usr/local/lib/pine.conf, Pine 3.92
gives an error and will not send mail on two Linux boxes that I have
tried it on.

On these same systems Pine 3.91 works perfectly, without an smtp server
defined in the Pine configuration files (i.e it is able to use 
/usr/lib/sendmail) ......
