I don't think so.

 AI>> Maybe it a 32 vs 64 bit thing?

 Ol> Maybe. My Linux is 32-bit (Raspbian).

That is my best guess. Only a guess.

 Ol> You could try MsgEd ;)

I like msged also although I don't have it up and running ATM. I takes a little
 care and attention to get set up. I think that was Tobias's doing some years
ago and it hasn't been looked at in a long time.

Msged also uses .sql last read pointers. That's not really a problem but if you
 pick up again with another editor like golded it won't know where you left
off. That's only an issue if you use Jam messages bases.

I find when replying with msged the quotes can be a little zig zagy so you need
 to fix that up a bit, if you care about those things.

None the less msged is a very capable message editor and I'll likely have it up
 and running here sooner or later.

 Ttyl :-),
