Nobody want to install something from source anymore.

 
That’s why most distros offer prebuilt binaries.

I still cannot get pan working under MX Linux.
It installs from the repo fine, brings down messages fine
but if I try to reply to a message it tosses an error something
like message not found.

This would be why I use Forte Agent under Wine, why settle for
hobbyware BS like Pan?  Unix-like has terrific NNTP clients running in
terminal, but I have yet to see a GUI one worth anything.

Pan is not "hobbyware", any more than the Linux kernel is.

It's also under continuous development.  The last Forte Agent
was released over 10 years ago.  Get a clue, noob.
