Hello! I've compiled mutt-1.3.28i in the default configuration on RedHat Linux 7.2 (i386) with all updates. If I run it in xterm (from XFree86-4.1.0) or in rxvt-2.7.6, it shows a blank screen. I can quit by pressing Ctrl-C and Enter. The same executable runs on the Linux console just fine.
It turns out that the default configuration uses ncurses-5.2. I tried configuring Mutt with slang-1.4.4. It works fine. My guess is that Mutt does something with page switching that the newer versions of ncurses don't like. I believe it's a major bug that will be a frequently asked question as soon as mutt-1.4 is released. I checked the lists to see if it's not already a frequently asked question. There is a very similar description of the problem, except that it's not specific about software versions: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mutt-users&m=101062129425997&w=2 -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
