Hi Brian,

You might want to grab this source instead:
http://www.mixmin.net/mixmaster-3.0.1b.tar.gz

The patch Philippe describes is already applied along with some other
updates since the 3.0 release.

Mixmaster doesn't expect to find these libraries in the directories
you've chosen.  What flavour of Linux are you using?  You should be able
to install packaged versions of the libraries.

For Debian, these would be:
libpcre3-dev
zlib1g-dev
libncurses5-dev
libssl-dev

Steve
