   x86_64? This is in the Raspberry Pi Group. Did you pick the wrong   
   newsgroup to discuss this or are you trying to complile on a PC   
   but run Mailutils on a RPi? That's possible, but difficult, and   
   for this you'd be much better compiling Mailutils on the RPi   
   instead.

   The configure script worked if you got the mailutils binaries   
   built, which it sounds like you did (otherwise DESTDIR will be   
   empty). I've never used "alien" and don't know how it goes about   
   making packages, but it looks like something must be going wrong   
   there. If you're trying to install to RPi (ARM) a package built   
   for x86_64, then that's definitely what's going wrong.
