The ANSI compiler might actually be installed. A quick test is to type
the command "cc -Ae" and see if you get a complaint about the option.
If you don't, then you already have a compiler

I don't know why you are saying this, because I have built every version
of Mutt using HP's make. In fact, I don't use any GNU tools at all to
do the job (except for gzip, of course).
Not to say that there's anything wrong with the GNU tools, but the HP
tools work just fine.

It's true that Mutt will not compile without one of these packages.
Mutt can't be used with any stock curses library that I know of. HP's
color-curses library does not work the way Mutt expects.

I've never had to use these on HPUX. It does the right thing with
these.

That will be necessary on HPUX, because dot-locking is used, and
setgid-mail privileges are needed on the mutt-dotlock program.
