116 <note>
117 <para>This version of <application>Mutt</application> is a development
118 release. The BLFS editors have determined that it provides a stable
119 program and fixes two issues in the current stable version of
120 <application>Mutt</application>: a segmentation fault that occurs under
121 certain conditions and a compilation problem when building with recent
122 versions of <application>GCC</application>.

124 </note>
125
126 <para><application>Mutt</application> requires a group named
127 <systemitem class="groupname">mail</systemitem>. You can
128 add this group, if it does not exist, with this command:</para>
129
130<screen role="root"><userinput>groupadd -g 34 mail</userinput></screen>
131
132 <para>If you did not install an <xref linkend="server-mail"/>, you need to
133 modify the ownership of <filename class="directory">/var/mail</filename>
134 with this command:</para>
135
136<screen role="root"><userinput>chgrp -v mail /var/mail</userinput></screen>
137
138 <para><application>Mutt</application> will rebuild the HTML documentation
139 if <xref linkend="libxslt"/> is present, then use that to update the text
140 manual - even if none of the specified browsers are present. That will
141 create an empty file, so we save the shipped file.
