However, for me ...

 tar -tzvf mutt-unstable-20010211.tar.gz | grep configure
 -rw-r--r-- roessler/roessler  24605 2001-01-31 03:01:12 mutt/configure.in

No `configure', only `configure.in'.

I retrieved mutt-1.3.14 as follows:

(1)  I went to http://www.mutt.org

(2)  I clicked on the "downloading" link.

(3)  I clicked on the "ftp://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/" link.

(4)  I clicked on the "snapshots" link.

(5)  I clicked on the following link to download the tarball:
     ftp://ftp.mutt.org/pub/mutt/snapshots/mutt-unstable-20010211.tar.gz

As you can see from my `tar' command above, no `configure' script
exists in this tarball, only `configure.in'.  This is why I was asking
about the proper `autoconf' invocation for correctly generating a
`configure' script from this `configure.in' file.

Or instead of suggesting a proper `autoconf' invocation, does anyone
know where I can find the `mutt-1.3.14i.tar.gz' tarball that you are
referring to above?

Thanks in advance.


> HTH,

Well, I'm not sure how it could help me simply for you to tell me that
your own tarball contains a `configure' script.  Clearly, mine didn't.

But thanks, anyway.
