I tried to build libiconv 1.8, but have had some problems. If I use the makefile.os2 that comes with the package, the process ends very soon with errors creating iconv.o. I can use the std method of configure -> make and the process will complete without error, but fails the make check. Any suggestions anyone can offer to get this built, or failing that, any place to download the package would be appreciated.

In trying to run it, I get the following error: tin: Terminal must have clear to end-of-screen (cd) tin: Screen initialization failed I have my terminal variable set to ANSI, and it works fine for lynx. Both lynx and tin use the ncurses library, so I am confused about the terminal problems. Can anyone using tin on OS/2 give me some pointers on setting up the configuration necessary to run it? thanks in advance.

It sounds as if you're using the latter. For the 1.4.5 version, you could do configure --enable-curses --with-ncurses to get the former. For 1.5.x, I modified the configure script to provide flavors more like lynx (--with-screen). -- Thomas E.

Any other hints to configure tin? Does it have a .cfg file that can be set up for normal use, or does one have to pass the various arguments via command line? Thanks.

There's $HOME/.tin/tinrc, which records the config settings ('M' brings up the config screen). Generally I just type "tin -ral" (from habit), but iirc, the command-line options have counterparts in the config settings. -- Thomas E.
