GnuTLS Development Files on Slackware-current

Does anyone know where I can find the dev files for gnutls?  I'm trying 
to compile pan 0.137 and the configure script keeps reporting that there 
is no gnutls on the system.

I have binaries for gnutls-cli, gnutls-cli-debug and gnutls-serv. 
Version v2.12.7 for all.

There's nothing on SlackBuild.  I'm running Slackware-current that I 
installed only a couple of days ago.  And I elected to install pretty 
much everything.

Thanks,
Ed

  Hi Ed,

  I can't remember how I did it, but since it's not in slackbuilds, I believe I 
downloaded it from gnu.org and made a standard slackbuild thing for it. Somehow 
or another I have gnutls-2.10.5-i486-1 on my 13.37 system. Most of the time I 
put the built package on my other hdd after I've installed it, to keep it safe, 
but I'll be damned if I can find it (probably one of those few times I screwed 
up and deleted it instead of 'moving' it, on accident <sigh> ).

  I also have pan 0.137 on my system (as it tells me so when I open the 
'about/help' tab in an open pan), but in my /var/log/packages I only have pan 
0.135 installed. I more than likely did the 'git' update/upgrade thing I found 
on pan's website

Both gnutls and pan are part of Slackware.  I don't (yet) know what
the real problem is, but you're trying to solve the wrong one, and
in doing so, creating others.

Slackware comes with Pan v0.134 and GnuTLS v2.12.7.  Pan 134 doesn't 
have secure connections to the newsserver.  And GnuTLS > 2.12.10 is 
needed to compile Pan 137 with TLS enabled.

Is there another (easier) way to solve this?

Hmm, I just installed -current about three days ago.  So he must have 
just made the change.  I should be able to do an upgrade from the 
-current tree.  Do you know if he enabled TLS in Pan?
