Note: These RPMs contain a couple of patches relative to the original Pan 0.14.0.95 source code: - Fix for bug 119969. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119969) - Add scoring on message-ID to the "Create Score" menu. Not official yet. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108566) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ These Pan RPMs are built for Mandrake 9.0, using Mandrake's library naming conventions. Mandrake's menu file and icons are included. They should also work on Mandrake 8.2 and 9.1. The 'nospell' package has been compiled with spell checking disabled, and therefore does not require gtkspell (libgtkspell0). For Mandrake 9.1, all the required libraries should be included in the distribution, except one: libgnet-2.0_0 >= 2.0.4 See the section about Mandrake 9.0 about availiable library RPMs. Mandrake 9.0 need these library updates: libgtkspell0 >= 2.0.2 (Not required for "nospell" package) libglib2.0_0 >= 2.2.0 libgnet-2.0_0 >= 2.0.4 Library updates for these packages can be found on the Pan website: http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/extras/gtkspell/MANDRAKE_90/ (libgtkspell0-2.0.3-1mdk90.i586.rpm) http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/extras/glib/MANDRAKE/ (libglib2.0_0-2.2.2-3mdk.i586.rpm) http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/extras/gnet/MANDRAKE/ (libgnet-2.0_0-2.0.4-1mdk90.i586.rpm) Those URLs also contain some development packages that aren't required by Pan, but they must be updated if older versions are installed, so that they match the libraries. Mandrake 8.2 requires the same updates as Mandrake 9.0, plus several packages from Mandrake 9.0: libatk1.0_0 libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0 libgtk+-x11-2.0_0 libpango1.0_0 pango libxml2 libpng3-1.2.4-3mdk (Better: 1.2.4-3.2mdk from 8.2 updates) freetype2-2.0.9-3mdk libstdc++5-3.2-1mdk (Not necessary for the 'nospell' package) It may be necessary to uninstall the pango 0.24 packages that came with Mandrake 8.2 first, if they are installed: rpm -e pango libpango24 or rpm -e pango libpango24 libpango24-devel The same may apply to some GTK+2 release 1.3 packages. (But *not* 1.2!) Using Pan with gtkspell on Mandrake 8.2 can be a bit tricky. Probably either the libgtkspell0-2.0.3 RPM for Mandrake 9.0 (see above) *or* the one compiled on Mandrake 8.2 will work, but not both. The latter is available at http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/extras/gtkspell/MANDRAKE_82/ Using the wrong libgtkspell can cause Pan to crash when opening the compose window. If Pan is freqently crashing on Mandrake 9.0 or 8.2, upgrading pango/libpango1.0_0 to 1.0.5 or later may help. (This may require additional packages). Pango 1.0.5 RPMs for Mandrake 9.0/8.2 may be hard to find, but the following RPM from SuSE should work: http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/suse/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME2/update_for_8.1/base/pango-1.0.5-0.i586.html Note that this single RPM replaces both pango and libpango1.0_0.
