How does it complain “silently”? :)

Recommended by whom? I see in the manual [1] that
$prefix/lib/pine.conf (Pine's global configuration file)
$prefix/lib/pine.conf.fixed (Non-overridable global configuration file)
should exist, but it doesn’t say what should be in them. Could they
just be empty? Given that one of them is for non-overridable global
configurations I’d rather not fill them.

WDYT?
