(yacc)).

To compile and install, just type:

% ./configure
% make
% su
Password: [Enter password]
# make install

Additional libraries

Compface library is required for X-Face support.
You can get compface utilities and library from the following location:

  http://freshmeat.net/projects/compface/

GnuPG (>= 1.2.0) and GPGME (>= 1.0.0) are required for GnuPG (PGP) support.
You can get GnuPG and GPGME from the following location:

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/

Options for configure script
============================

  --disable-gpgme     disable GnuPG support (requires GPGME and GnuPG)
  --disable-ssl       disable SSL support (requires OpenSSL)
  --disable-compface  disable compface (X-Face) support
  --disable-gtkspell  disable spell checking feature (requires GtkSpell)
  --disable-threads   disable multi-threading support
