Installation for shared hosting

[Sean Gonsman <se...@abovemedia.com>]

I'm new to SpamAssassin.  I am trying to install ver 2.63 on Linux with
Ensim control panel.  If I try to use the make command and it tells me
"bash: make: command not found" does that mean that I do not have enough
privileges to install this program?  If so, is there any other way to
use SpamAssassin?

No, it means the system wasn't set up with standard developer tools. make, 
gcc, perl, etc are all generally considered to be part of a "normal" *nux 
system, and it always bewilders me when I encounter one that's missing them 
(exceptions to embedded and "floppy-disk-boot" systems)

I don't know anything about Ensim, or whatever distro you are using. 
However, I'd suggest looking at the installation packages for it and make 
sure you install things that are going to be important in building and 
installing software.
