Subject: exmh doesn't work on dialups (ubuntu)
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:08:06 -0400
From: Sara C Pickett <sarac@MIT.EDU>
When I try to run exmh on the dialups, I get:
~>add sipb
add: warning: using compatibility for /mit/sipb
~>exmh
Error in startup script: child process exited abnormally
while executing
"exec athdir /afs/athena/project/mime bin"
invoked from within
"if [file executable "/usr/bin/metamail"] {
set mime(dir) "/usr/bin"
} else {
set mime(dir) [exec athdir /afs/athena/project/mime bin]
}"
(file "/mit/sipb/arch/i386_ubuntu904/bin/exmh" line 34)
Ironically, just before that I had tried to use "mailto" from the mime
locker and got:
~>add mime
add: warning: /mit/mime has no binary directory
and that's why I was trying to run exmh.
Anyway, I know mh is ancient, and it looks like the dialups are
running ubuntu:
~>uname -a
Linux buzzword-bingo 2.6.32-28-server #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:57:16 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
but if anyone knows of an easy way to make the two of them work
together, that would be great.
Thanks,
Sara
