it may be too late but i would recommend you remove the old rpm as there are a number of things that will hang around and might mislead you. the manual comes to mind. also, if you are fairly new to linux and the manual build process, there are precompiled version of mutt in rpm format, links can be found from mutt.org somewhere. that being said, if you want to, i encourage building of stuff from scratch as a learning process. be advised, if you have installed the 1.4 mutt you compiled and then remove the rpm, you will likely remove your 1.4 executable but you should be able to go back into your build dir and do another make install to put your new 1.4 mutt back. > I know, I know, this is a newbie question and I should probably just > do it and learn, but I've got a lot of mail and no time right now > to spend trying to recover, hence this question and request for hand > holding. yuck, clamy palms ;-) -- Peter Abplanalp Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP: pgp.mit.edu
