[Pan-users] No source rpms with automatic dependency fetching?

[Anssi Porttikivi]

Is compiling Pan on RedHat 9 really that hard, that you have to manually
get a dozen other library source tarballs and compile them all? No SRPMS
or anything available for automatic fetching of dependent files with
apt-get or yum? I have this religious hatred for everything that a
computer should automate, but forces me to do manually... 

I don't know why, but my Pan suddenly stopped fetching news and complain
about missing import-modules in the Pan log. Apt-get and Yum reported I
have the latest version. To fix the situation, I thought I would compile
a new one by hand. After several hours of fighting failing ./configure
package checks I gave up and removed/re-installed Pan with apt-get and
it works now ok, thank you!
