Since elm successfully compiled on Rocky8, I decided to try metamail. It successfully compiled as well and is now installed and linked into elm.
Also, this is a reminder that friendica.eskimo.com, hubzilla.eskimo.com, mastodon.eskimo.com, yacy.eskimo.com, and manjaro.eskimo.com will all be going down for probably around six hours tonight in order to replace the motherboard.
The motherboard that is presently installed has two dead memory slots so a quarter of our system memory is not recognizable on that machine.
