Hello. I'm trying to use spamassasin personally on a lab-administered
linux machine. Having some problems:

(1) When installing, I run "make", and it tries to
  cc -D... -lgdbm -ldbm ...
and says "cannot find -lgdbm" "ld returned 1 exit status"
I blindly tried removing the -lgdbm option and it complained about
-ldbm. I removed that as well, and the "make" command completed okay.
Is this okay?

(2) Installation step 4 asked whether I'm already using procmail. How can
I tell? I know that procmail is installed on the system, but I've never
used it personally. I don't have a .procmailrc, nor a .forward. Is that
what this question is asking?

(3) I tried creating both a .forward file and a .procmailrc as
suggested. But mail doesn't get through. So I deleted the .forward file
and left .procmailrc as it was. Now mail does get through. However... I
wrote myself an honest test message, and a spam-like message. Both got
through to appear in my inbox, but the X-Spam-Status header didn't appear,
and instead both had the header
X-Authentication-Warning: dotto.cs.unibo.it: ljw1004 owned process doing -bs
(my username is ljw1004).

What's up? What should I do? Sorry to be so helpless... I've only ever
installed one unix program before so don't really know what to try. Many
thanks in advance for any help.
