1) I think it would be good to mention in INSTALL (or MACHINES) that
at least on redhat Linux 5.0 one needs to configure as
LIBS=-lgdbm ./configure
A better solution would be to use the library checking features of
autoconf to check for the libs gdbm, ndbm, dbm in order and pick the
correct one, I think.
3) Though I have a components file in my MhMail directory, it is not
used by Emacs since I put
(setq mh-comp-formfile "/usr/local/nmh/etc/components")
in .emacs as suggested by the FAQ. Of course, I can direct Emacs
to the right components file, but this does not seem to be flexible
approach for a sysadm. So how do I fix mh-e so that it first
searches for components in ~/MhMail *then* in /usr/local/nmh/etc/
without users putting anything in their .emacs.
If you're using the stock mh-letter mode the variables you need to set
aremh-progs to the bin directory and mh-lib to the lib directory.
In answer to your question look at
/usr/share/emacs/20.2/lisp/site-init.el and start your lisp hacking
there.
4) While compiling, I got the message
make[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/nmh-0.21/zotnet/tws'
flex -nt ./dtimep.lex | sed -f ./lexedit.sed > dtimep.c
LEX FAILED: using pre-lexed dtimep.c
Interesting. Mine flexed fine.
5) When I did my first inc I got
inc: BUG: calling folder_realloc with lo > mp->lowmsg
but this message never appeared again.
I suspect this was because of your prexisting mailbox, I built it on a
clean system and had no problems at all.
