Building SA3 on RH9

[Alan Munday <sp...@brightheadtechnology.com>]

I've built a set of rpm's from the SA3 tar.gz

I've used yum for updates and have installed the perl modules which means I
have perl-Mail-SpamAssassin and spamassassin installed.

I have however not found perl(Parse::Syslog) or
perl(Statistics::Distributions) needed for spamassassin-tools.

I just wanted to check the best method of getting these modules as I know RH
can be a bit fussy and I want to avoid getting modules in the wrong part of
the perl tree. 

Thanks

Alan

I've found the use of cpan2rpm and then installing the modules using the
resulting rpms to work the best.

Unless you're planning to do development (and even then it's not needed), I
wouldn't bother with spamassassin-tools.
