Full Discussion: Unix email facility
Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Unix email facility Post 46670 by Larry LAM on Thursday 22nd of January 2004 04:58:39 AM

Dear Jsilva,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using an iBook with Mac OS version 10.3. I have read the book from O'reilly which says we could use the Terminal for sending and receiving email with Pine, a text-based simple email software in most Unix. The author suggests that we could to get a free copy of Pine from website of Unix to which I did. I then follow the instruction of the book to install Pine with my Terminal. But it doesn't work. Following are the prompt and error messages.

Failed:
This package must be compiled with GCC 3.3, but you currently have 3.1 selected.
To correct this problem, run the command:

sudo gcc_select 3.3

You may need to install a more recent version of the Developer Tools to be able
to do so.

[Larry-LAMs-Computer:~] larrylam% sudo gcc_select 3.3

Invalid argument (3.3).

Ps: Before I installing Pine, I have installed lynx, a text-based web browser, and it works very fine with my iBook. If you need more detail, please drop me a mail at manholam@pacific.net.hk

Many thanks
Larry

abook

ABOOK(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ABOOK(1)

NAME

       abook - text-based address book program

SYNOPSIS

       abook [ OPTION ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the  abook program.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       abook is a text-based address book program. It contains Name, Email, Address and various Phone fields. It is designed for  use  with  mutt,
       but can be equally useful on its own.

OPTIONS

       -h --help
	      Show usage.

       -C --config <filename>
	      Use an alternative configuration file (default is $HOME/.abook/abookrc).

       --datafile <filename>
	      Use an alternative addressbook file (default is $HOME/.abook/addressbook).

       --mutt-query <string>
	      Make a query for mutt (search the addressbook for <string>).
	      The --datafile option, as documented above, may be used BEFORE this option to search a different addressbook file.

       --convert [ --informat <inputformat> ] [ --infile <inputfile> ] [ --outformat <outputformat> ] [ --outfile <outputfile> ]
	      Converts <inputfile> in <inputformat> to <outputfile> in <outputformat> (defaults are abook, stdin, text and stdout).

	      The following inputformats are supported:
	      - abook abook native format
	      - ldif ldif / Netscape addressbook
	      - mutt mutt alias
	      - pine pine addressbook
	      - csv comma separated values
	      - palmcsv Palm comma separated values

	      The following outputformats are supported:
	      - abook abook native format
	      - ldif ldif / Netscape addressbook (.4ld)
	      - mutt mutt alias
	      - html html document
	      - pine pine addressbook
	      - gcrd GnomeCard (VCard) addressbook
	      - csv comma separated values
	      - palmcsv Palm comma separated values
	      - elm elm alias
	      - text plain text
	      - spruce Spruce address book
	      - wl Wanderlust address book
	      - bsdcal BSD calendar

       --add-email
	      Read an e-mail message from stdin and add the sender to the addressbook.

       --add-email-quiet
	      Same as --add-email but doesn't confirm adding.

       --formats
	      List available formats.
