It seems mutt (www.mutt.org) fixed them after postpone/edit.

I suggest you set LANG=C before sending bug reports, it should do
the translation on your behalf (correct me if I'm wrong).

It seems you unpacked postgis in the postgresql INSTALLATION dir,
while you should have done so in the postgresql SOURCE dir.
Also remember to configure the postgresql source tree before attempting
