Go to newsgroup in linux

Article Title: Go to newsgroup in linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
1. News readers include knode, newsreader, and pan. I use pan, more information can be found on a list of free replicas for LINUX, called hundreds of Windows software.
　　
2. news Server: news.yaako.com. I believe most people who contact newsgroup for the first time are as confused as me: Some of the server addresses found are filled but cannot be connected. The server above is very full, not only Chinese but also English, but also German and French. With it, you don't have to worry about finding another server. Of course, if you have a better server address, please let me know.
　　
It was nice to use thunderbird as a news reader, but when I use it to post today, I cannot send it out, and I suspect it is smtp, however, sina's paid smtp and 21cn's free smtp do not work, and because the software does not support the title of the Chinese newsgroup (garbled), it came up with the idea of finding a professional news reader.
　　
However, I did not know how to spell this news reader. I opened google and used newsgroup as a keyword to search for it. I didn't get any useful information. I suddenly thought that some people sent a "List of free alternatives to hundreds of Windows software" in CU recently. Maybe there will be such information, so I opened CU, search by the keyword "substitute List" in the search bar. The post and link are found.
　　
I guess it is correct. There is a list of news readers on this webpage. I checked the first three software. Knode is used in kde. To use it in my fvwm, You have to install the corresponding development kit. No. The webpage of NewsReader cannot be opened, so I don't know what the situation is. Finally, I chose Pan. Slave.
　　
Decompress the package and navigate to the INSTALL package that comes with the package. We know that you can install it using./configure & make INSTALL without special compilation options. However, the following error occurs after./configure:
　　
Code:
Checking for gnet-2.0> = 2.0.1... Package gnet-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you shoshould add the directory containing 'gnet-2.0.pc'
To the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gnet-2.0 'found
Checking for gnet> = 1.1.8... Package gnet was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you shoshould add the directory containing 'gnet. pc'
To the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gnet' found
Configure: error: GNet 2.0.1 or higher, or GNet 1.1.8 or higher, is required.
　　
It seems that gnet or gnet2 is needed, rpm-qa | grep gnet but found that gnet2 has been installed, then it is unable to locate the gnet-2.0.pc file, first locate the file, locate gnet-2.0.pc, no, once again, it still does not exist. In readme In the plugin package, find the official gnet website. Download gnet-2.0.5.tar.gzfrom http://www.gnetlibrary.org/src/gnet-2.0.5.tar.gz.
　　
After unzipping the package, read the install package and use./configure & make install to compile and install the package. There is no problem and the package passes the package once. Then in the pan-0.14.2 directory./configure, the result is still the error message above, it seems that the gnet-2.0.pc can not be located.
　　
After updatedb, locate the gnet-2.0.pc again, this time with/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gnet-2.0.pc, and then add the PKG_CONFIG_PATH path according to its prompt information, export PKG_CONFIG_PATH =/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/gnet-2.0.pc again. /configure, successful. Then make & make install is installed.
　　
Then, start the program with pan on the terminal. Enter some information for the first running, such as the e-mail and news servers. I entered news.yaako.com for the news server, which is quite full. There are more than 2 W newsgroups, and the famous alt. comp. linu and comp. OS. linux can also see that the only drawback is that there are too many newsgroups. If you want to download the list of all newsgroups, it may take a long time, of course, depending on your network speed.
　　
Now the news reader in linux has been installed and configured. As for the usage problems, it only takes a few minutes to get familiar with it.
