I'm a newcomer to Linux, but have been quite successful in figuring most things out for myself.

I am trying to install the PINE email program. I've tried a couple of approaches, including trying to install a binary RPM, which I read SHOULD work under Mandrake.

This is what I tried first:

[rjacox@linux download]$ rpm -ivh pine-4.60-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by pine-4.60-1
libssl.so.4 is needed by pine-4.60-1


I don't see these packages available to me on my Mandrake 9.2 install DVD.

I then tried:

[root@linux download]# urpmi pine
Some package requested cannot be installed:
pine-4.61-1.i386 (due to unsatisfied libcrypto.so.4) (Y/n) y

Am I barking up the wrong tree here? I have never ahd any success installing from source.

YOu have a few options.
1) update your media sources and hopefully they'll have that libcrypto.so dependency it is looking for, but I doubt this will work.
2) Googling up libcrypto came up with it being connected with OpenSSL, so you may have to install OpenSSL before you can install pine. Again, you can do that via URPMI, Mandrake control Center, or installing from source.
3) Try compiling from source from http://www.washington.edu/pine/getpine/unix.html

Those are my best guess. Good luck!

THANK YOU!

Not sure what I did, took a couple of hours, but it worked by downloading an older RPM that had libcrypo.s0.4.
