[LI] help: Compiling PINE 4.21

[Suresh Ramasubramanian <r.suresh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I downloaded a tarball with PINE 4.21 and issued tar -xvpf pine4.21.tar.
So, I get all the files untarred into a folder /root/pine4.21

When I gave the command "build lnx" - it asks me "Most newer versions of
Linux prefer build slx.  Continue y/n?".  Can somebody clarify?

And after building it, all the stuff is still in the root directory.  What
do I copy where, and what do I delete?  All the binaries have to be copied
to /usr/bin I imagine.

Sorry for the rather basic post - but I've got into the habit of using
rpm :( And tarballs usually specify ~where~ they have to be unpacked
first, or am I missing something?  (I rather think I ~am~ missing
something basic).  Help (a mini HOWTO, preferably) would be welcome.

TIA
