I am attempting to install MailScanner 4.22-4 RedHat RPM package on a RH 9 system, but it is not installing without errors.
The README file says to execute ./install.sh, however it says that I don't have directories /usr/source/redhat /usr/source/RPM and /usr/source/package. I don't.
The answer is actually fairly simple - just go and ahead and create the
directories. They're in standard locations, and they should be there
anyway in case you ever install a source rpm.
mkdir /usr/src/redhat
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/athlon
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i486
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i586
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686
mkdir /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch
What are these directories? Are they where the kernel source is located?
Not just the kernel source, but all SRPMS, by default, go here (it can be changed, but mailscanner doesn't like it if it's changed)

Thanks! I don't think that simply making the directories would have ever occurred to me. I am having two other problems now. One, I get lots of errors that look like this:
Attempting to build and install perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2
--rebuild: unknown option
Missing file /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2.noarch.rpm.
Maybe it did not build correctly?
and then a final error that looks like this:
Now to install MailScanner itself.
error: Failed dependencies:
perl-MIME-tools >= 5.411 is needed by mailscanner-4.22-4The thing about the last error is, if you try to do an
rpm -Uvh perl-MIME-tools* mailscanner*.rpm
you *still* get this Failed dependency error. Wierd.
Any ideas?
