Right now I'm running SuSE 8.2 with SA 2.5. I noticed there is a 2.55-75 for SuSE 9. Does anyone think there would be a problem installing the later on 8.2? Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

SA is pretty distro independant. Not sure what form your going to get a new SA in but if there are problems, it most likely would be in the packaging, not SA itself. I'm running 2.70 on SUSE 9.0 -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Well, I had gone and done it. Damn! I installed 2.60-20 non-perl in rpm form. The install went fine, but when I tried to run rcspamd, I got the following... mailserver:/home/tom # rcspamd start Starting spamd done mailserver:/home/tom # Can't locate Mail/SpamAssassin/NetSet.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl) at /usr/sbin/spamd line 35. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/spamd line 35. I have no idea what this means except it's not good and SA isn't running now. Any thoughts? Tom

I just discovered I have a lot of dependencies to make up. Too many in my opinion. I'd like to put the old SA back on and leave well enough alone. So, how do I keep the files (user_prefs, etc...) in tact and not delete them, but still revert? Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

What dependecies? All SA needs is perl and gcc (for spamd). I compile all of my SA from prestine source on my 8.1 system which is older than yours. Charles -- Why use Windows, since there is a door? (By fachat@galileo.rhein-neckar.de, Andre Fachat)

Why mess around with those rpms at all? They are never up to date, as spam assassin has releases more often than even SuSE can keep up with. From the INSTALL file at http://au.spamassassin.org/full/2.6x/dist/INSTALL Quote: The easiest way to do this is using CPAN.pm, like so: perl -MCPAN -e shell [as root] o conf prerequisites_policy ask install Mail::SpamAssassin quit ------ The above has worked on every version of Linux from every distro I've tried and its as up to date as it gets. RPMs? We don't need no stinkin RPMs.... ;-) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

This is true, that is why I always compile from pristine source. A lot of people though feel more comfortable with SuSE packages. Charles -- "However, complexity is not always the enemy." -- Larry Wall (Open Sources, 1999 O'Reilly and Associates)

I run SuSE 8.2 with SA 2.61 - which I compiled from sources. You can find my report on this list (31 Dec 2003). I can not recommend you install from rpm unless it is built specifically for SuSE 8.2 - not SA, not anything. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
