I took a closer look at what gcc says when it's compiling: This does not look good: os.c:1235: conversion to non-scalar type requested os.c:1236: invalid operands to binary == os.c: In function `fset_pos': os.c:1246: incompatible type for argument 2 of `fseek' os.c: In function `post_reap': os.c:1745: warning: passing arg 2 of `waitpid' from incompatible pointer type make[1]: *** [os.o] Error 1
and there is a lot of: maildir.c: In function `maildir_ping': maildir.c:854: warning: passing arg 3 of `scandir' from incompatible pointer type maildir.c:854: warning: passing arg 4 of `scandir' from incompatible pointer type So of course the "install" can't stat the bin/pine file since the make pine thread is clobbered by those errors. However, the rest of the stuff , like pico is compiled. I'm using kernel 2.4.0 , so my best guess (FWIW )is that the bloody source code isn't compatible really with 2.4 kernels.
