Subject: Problwm with compiled 3.94 for Solaris

I recently ftp'd the Solaris binary of 3.94 and installed
it, replacing 3.91 that we used successfully for a long
time.

Users report that pine tries to create a folders directory
named
	/home/fac/joe//home/fac/joe/mail

(or perhaps it was Mail) and fails.

Is that because of the way 3.94 was compiled?

Thanks,
Pete

<sigh> Mea culpa, mea culpa. I just discovered "gso". Sorry. :-(

So all I have to do is:
	(1) gunzip pine*gz
	(2) tar -xvf pine*
	(3) cd pine3.94
	(4) ./build sol
right?

For example, even if I edit makefile.sol for both pine and pico so that
CC=gcc, I still have to change the CFLAGS so that SYSTYPE is defined
correctly, right? And even after I did that, I still get more error
messages.

Does anyone have a good set of gcc-oriented makefiles and
Solaris-dependent files that I could use?

Thanks,
Pete

Continuing with the Solaris v. Pine saga...

I did a ./build gso and it was successful.

I then logged in as an ordinary user, and this is what
resulted when I tried to invoke the result of the build
(this, incidentally, is the same result as when I used the
posted Solaris binary):

Script is typescript, started Fri Jul  5 22:36:12 1996
$ pine394x
Creating subdirectory "/home/stu/dummy//home/stu/dummy/Mail"
where Pine will store its mail folders.
^GError creating subdirectory "/home/stu/dummy//home/stu/dummy/Mail"
: No such file or directory
$ 
Script done Fri Jul  5 22:36:25 1996

Any thoughts as to what I can edit to fix this?

Thanks,
Pete
