UofW site states “Pine is no longer under active development. Consider evaluating its successor, Alpine, which supports all of Pine’s functionality and more. ”

Here’s how to install it:

Go here and get your RPM for the proper dag repo: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B

Import the key with this command:
rpm –import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Then run:
yum install pine

It will install Alpine, which is the same thing but better.

Yep or simply link

ln -s /var/lib/libldap.so /var/lib/libldap.so.2

if libldap.so already exists on your system in the /var/lib/ dir…

try: ‘yum install compat-openldap’ This may get you the library you need to install the pine rpm.

You can try passing the –nodeps option to rpm, there’s no guarantee that it will work though. I am on rhel 5 what I did to get it to work was goto http://web.mit.edu/software/linux.html and download the rhel5 rpm. It still complained about a dependency, some kerberos thing, I’m just using this for local system messages so I don’t care a bout kerberose so I gave it the –nodeps option and it installed and it runs just fine. Hope that helps

I downloaded the rpm with wget, but I’m told that I need 3 additional files. First one I was able to get via yum, but with the second, I get this:

Would appreciate any feedback or advice. Thank you.
