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?
