Yup. It's me again. =)
After my run-in with the resolv.conf file, which I have up and
running properly now, thanks to the kind denizens of the list, I'm having
trouble getting Pine running on my Mac. It's not the readfile problem --
I've got that message archived and I'm ready to apply the patch. It's
not the compilation -- everything I've compiled with gcc so far has
worked fine.
I can't get the damn file uncompressed! I downloaded
pine3.91.tar.Z from ftp.cac.washington.edu and am attempting to
uncompress it to .tar format. Everytime I do so, at one specific point,
it gives me a segmentation fault and core dumps. I've repeated it
several times, with multiple copies of the file from
ftp.cac.washington.edu, and it always errors and leaves me with
pine3.91.tar with a size of exactly 17956864 bytes. Apparently this
isn't the complete file, because although tar -xf will work on it, it
doesn't create the entire structure it should.
Any suggestions? I've got the uncompress.core file if anyone needs
to see it.
