I have a new installation of LEAP 42.1 and thought I would try sylpheed rather than T’bird.
I have followed the instructions as far as I can but must have some dependencies missing or incorrect. When I run ./configure I get the following:-
alastair@ibmserver2:~/Downloads/sylpheed-3.5.0> ./configure

The config.log tells me:-
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.65. Invocation command line was

I have gtk2-devel and gtk3-devel installed.
The INSTALL notes suggest the latest openSUSE with which it works is 11.2.
Could it be my efforts are doomed until sylpheed is updated further?
