Thanks for letting me help out MailScanner in whatever capacity I am able to.? Just wondering if we should be running 4.54.2 or is there a different version to help with testing.

Thanks

Having said that, just noticed the list doesn't change the reply to  
to be the list.

Jules, a quick config change in Mailman if you could??

True, although people *have* been flamed for suggesting it. I subscribe 
to other lists and, unless I'm using pine at the time, I find myself 
having to hit "reply to all" and delete the original poster.

The only side effect is the out of office replies that occasionally pop 
up... :-)

The downloads page of the www.mailscanner.info site. I don't see any 
point moving them from there, but I will always announce them to the 
betas list.

I haven't published anything new yet. I will probably put out a beta in 
a while, once I have had a bite to eat. Just having a cream-cheese bagel 
and fruit salad tonight, can't be a**ed to do anything else this evening.

Comparing 4.53.8 to 4.54.2, I see little processing speed difference. The
Processing Speed graph on MailScanner-mrtg doesn't show a noticeable change
of speed between the two versions. I would think the speed depends on the
size of the messages also.

Hi Guys,

One quick one,  I have made custom templates for the replies which
mailscanner dishes out. During the frequent upgrades im going to be doing
keeping up with the betas is there an easy way to keep the templates per
version...  Would it make more sense to make it in a standard place e.g.
/etc/mailscanner-templates/ and put this into the MailScanner.conf?

I have upgraded a few versions before, but a lot of the upgrade seems to be
manual (From my understanding) e.g. custom rule sets etc....

That's a bit of a pain, especially as I have a cluster of 2 boxes...

Maybe im just being daft tho...

Lee

Hi,

I recently upgraded to mailscanner 4.54.2-2, and now get the error below:

/etc/cron.daily/sa-update:

/etc/cron.daily/sa-update: line 8: =: command not found
/etc/cron.daily/sa-update: line 10: exit: if: numeric argument required

The relevant lines in this file are:

$Disabled = 1;

exit if $Disabled;

I'm running Scientific Linux 4.2 (RHEL4 U2).

Any ideas?

Michael.

What Paul said.

there is definately an increase in processing speed.
So far i've pushed just over 12 000 mails through the 4.54.2 setup,
and it all looks good.

Just make your own directory in /etc/MailScanner/reports and put them  
in there, then set %report-dir% in MailScanner.conf. Then all your  
reports will be left alone.

JFYI, have been running 4.54.2 on 2 new production servers (outgoing 
smtp servers) without spamassassin. No problems so far :-)

The Average Processing Speed has increased from 28.7 kB/s to 50.4 kB/s, 
but i do not know whether to attribute it to newer hardware OR the newer 
mailscanner OR both.

After upgrading to 4.54.2 on the 12th I've just noticed no Sophos Updates
are happening..

Looking at the logs it's not even seeing the Sophos to upgrade.....

That's the way just about all mailing lists work!

Try filtering on something other than the From address - I'd suggest 
using the List-Id: header, which is designed for the purpose.

Same on 4.54.4...

It's using Sophos to scan email OK (tested with eicar).

If I run sophos-autoupdate by hand it works fine...just calling it from
update_virus_scanners doesn't work.

I've just set it up the same as the main discussions list. Isn't it  
also a problem there for you? No-one has ever complained about that,  
and I find it very useful personally, so I am not very keen to change  
it.

Done. I have also described the "problem"  so that people know if  
they are suffering the problem or not. Telling them there might be a  
problem, and then not telling them what the problem is, was a bit  
daft on my part. :-)

Diff the Changelog from 4.54.2 to 4.54.4 :-)
Sorry, I only separate the ChangeLog  history in every x.yy release,  
not every x.yy.z release.

That stinks of it being an environment problem. If you do
	env - sophos-autoupdate /usr/local/Sophos
does that work?

Subject: 4.54.4
In-Reply-To: <4DA9BF9F-B2D4-4462-9DA8-E5B76C28CD42@ecs.soton.ac.uk>
Message-ID: <02bc01c67e51$16891090$0a2fa8c0@LAPTOPSMF>

Hi Jules,

4.54.4 is working fine here for the last 30 minutes or so, can also confirm
that the change made for batch logging works fine.

New feature request:

Historically MailWatch 1.0 used to use regexps to parse the reports for
virus names, this wasn't particularly optimal and broke completely when the
'Virus Scanners = auto' functionality came out as MailWatch reads
MailScanner.conf to work out which virus scanners were installed and
therefore which regexp to use to parse the reports.

I'm getting quite close to releasing an alpha version of MailWatch 2.0,
hopefully in the coming weeks (not months...), but I don't have any virus
reporting in the current version as I would like to change how this is
reported.

I would like to propose to move the virus name regexps into MailScanner
itself as part of the scanner definitions e.g. something like:

my %Scanners = (
 sophossavi => {
  ....
  VirusRegexp => /INFECTED::\s(\S+)/
  ....
}

Then store the virus names are a hash of hashes based on the safe filename
and the virus scanner name, something like:

%safefile = ("filename" => {'sophossavi'  => 'W32/Mytob-HW'},
                           {'bitdefender' => '...'})

Storing it this way would then make it easy to spot when one scanner engine
misses a virus compared to another (this event could also be logged to
syslog also for those not using MailWatch) and makes it easy to see the
names given to corresponding viruses from each vendor.

I have a collection of regexps for a lot of scanners already, but would be
happy to get demos/trials of each scanner to test this against so we have a
complete set for each supported scanner (plus I can test each scanner and
publish the results).

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Steve.

Sophos-autoupdate called direct from the commandline works fine.

It's just when called from update_virus_scanners nothing happens..

Hi Julian,

just installed 4.54.4 on my ubuntu dapper drake and I get this error:

Skipping Custom Function file IMAPspam-1.0.tar.gz as its name does not
end in .pm or .pl

Any hint, how to manage this?

Cheers

Andy

Andreas,

That would seem to indicate you have a file named IMAPspam-1.0.tar.gz in
your CustomFunctions directory, if you move it elsewhere this warning will
disappear.

Cheers,
Steve.

I've uncommented the debug lines from update_virus_scanners and I get the

I will try to, yes. I usually know what there is, but didn't this time.
I might just do it with something subtle like a * instead of a - at  
the start of the line for the first item in each beta, or put the  
most minor version number in there instead of the current bullet ("-  
blah blah" becomes "3 blah blah").

See below.
You can also find out easily by running a MailScanner --lint and  
parsing the output of that.

What happens when the regexp needs to use a ( ) before the one

Eek. This is actually going to involve some work isn't it :(

Auto-detecting the virus scanners is pretty easy, you can look how  
MailScanner does it, it's not hard.

I have copies for most of the major scanners, but in each case I have  
promised never to pass them on to anyone.

That's actually harmless, but I guess I should move the file  
somewhere else.
Thanks, will fix. Just delete that file for now (it's in /usr/lib/ 
MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/ at the moment).

Hi Jules,

I thought of that a while ago -- it has a few major drawbacks though:

1)  Speed:  time MailScanner --lint = real    0m10.789s
2)  Because of the speed issue, it would require some form or persistent
storage (shared memory) between the Apache children with the result cached
until Apache is restarted.  This would cause a problem if the virus scanners
are changed and the person that initialises this gets to wait 10+ seconds
before the page is displayed.
3)  If virus scanners are changed in the future to a different set, then the
old historical data is lost (as the regexps no longer match).
4)  This original method was really really ugly...

That would be okay -- you would have do two ( ) captures, one for the
filename and the other for the virus name, then have a munge rule to say
which is with for each scanner e.g. $1 = virusname, $2 = filename or vice
versa.

It is -- but I really think it will be worth the pain.

Thinking about this further - I could move all of this functionality into a
CustomFunction and work it out in there as I can get the list of scanners
from MailScanner::SweepViruses::InstalledScanners(); and that would save you
from having to put this into SweepViruses...

Okay -- I'm off to try this...

Cheers,
Steve.

Oh good I'm glad it's not just me then ;-)

It's really odd - it's failing on this test...

if ${WRAPPER} "${PACKAGEDIR}" -IsItInstalled

(line 34 of update_virus_scanners).

It works fine for clamav, but not for sophos....

That makes it look like you've got an old version of /usr/sbin/ 
MailScanner somehow.
What does
	MailScanner --version
produce?

Julian,

Turned on debugging in the shell scripts and running

/opt/MailScanner/lib/sophos-wrapper /opt/sophos -IsItInstalled

by hand revealed:

PackageDir=/opt/sophos
+ shift
+ [ x-IsItInstalled = x-IsItInstalled ]
+ [ -x /opt/sophos/bin/savscan ]
+ exit 1

Well, savscan must be a Sophos 5 feature.  Since I'm running Sophos 4
on Solaris 10, only sweep is in that directory.  There doesn't seem to
be any test at the top of sophos-wrapper to figure out if v4 or v5 is
installed.  Something like:

if [ -x $PackageDir/bin/sweep ]; then
    running version 4
else if [ -x $PackageDir/bin/savscan ]; then
    running version 5
else

Did it and that message is off - but what
about /CustomFunctions/IMAPspam.pm? Can that be deleted safely as well?

Julian,
4.54.4 works good here on fedora core 4. Since this is a beta list, do 
you want error reports about perl modules not installing when running 
install.sh?

The more reports the better.
As it happens that error is totally harmless, it is because you already 
had the module installed from elsewhere.

Julian,

I just upgraded from 4.54.2 to 4.54.4.  I carried over the new sophos 
wrapper that you released this morning, and had to zap the two IMAP files
in lib/MailScanner to get 4.54.4 to work right.  So I'm running version
4.54.5 already!  Looks ok for the nanosecond.

I thought I was running a stable release until I went to download 4.54.4.
You might want to embrace the perl method of release numbering -- even
is stable and odd is development (or vice versa).  Or bump the major
number to 5 and start a clean numbering scheme for stable/test.

Regarding the ChangeLog, us beta-testers should start paying more attention
to it, and you might want to refine how you update it.  We were obviously 
snoozing if we missed a week's worth of Sophos updates because of the Sophos 
5 changes you made in 4.54.x.  I'm glad Martin caught this one!

List Managers,

I stared hard at my mailscanner-beta options on your Mailman webpage,
thinking that I could modify my Subject line for the list to be
like:

Subject: [MS-beta] whatever...

I checked the administrative interface of my own Mailman setup (v2.1.8)
and realized that subject_prefix setting seems to be an admin-only
thing.  Hmmm...  I would like to be able to tell the difference between
mailscanner and mailscanner-beta list postings in the subject line.

I've already zapped the IMAPspam.tar.gz file. The other one does no harm.

I could arbitrarily bump the version number to 5, but it does seem 
rather arbitrary. I use the 3rd version number for different revisions 
of the code, and the latest of those becomes the release version.

Cool! -- I've been fiddling about with this for a while but I can't seem to
get access to $MailScanner::SweepViruses::scannerlist from a CustomFunction,
any pointers would be gratefully received ;-)

Subject: Solaris 10 startup bug (still)
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.64.0605231629450.13598@emerald>

Gang (especially fellow Solaris 10 users),

This is a bug that has been vexing me for a month or so, and I would
like to figure out how to trap it.  My /etc/init.d startup script just
causes MailScanner to loop without doing anything.  Syslog says:

MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.54.4 starting...
MailScanner[28182]: Read 719 hostnames from the phishing whitelist
MailScanner[28182]: Config: calling custom init function IPBlock
MailScanner[28182]: Initialising IP blocking
MailScanner[28182]: Read 128 IP blocking entries from /etc/MailScanner/IPBlock.conf
MailScanner[28182]: Using SpamAssassin results cache
MailScanner[28182]: Connected to SpamAssassin cache database
MailScanner[28182]: Expired 28 records from the SpamAssassin cache
(pause, repeat)

I see a bunch of MS processes out there spinning their tires, no email
gets processed.  If I launch MailScanner by hand from the terminal like so:

/opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner --debug /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf

it works fine.  Lint mode also works.  If I launch it like so:

/opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf

it loops-up.  This is all that check_mailscanner basically does.  If
I let cron launch MailScanner, eg:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * [ -x /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner ] && /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner >/dev/null 2>&1

This also works fine.  This is currently how I restart MS, but I would
like to figure out this bug so I can use my /etc/init.d script again.
Ideas?

I think it's called %MailScanner::SweepViruses::Scanners.

Hi Jules,

The only way I could seem to get this to work is add a function to
SweepViruses.pm that does:

sub return_scanners {
 return $scannerlist;
}

Then in the CustomFunction run:

my($scanners) = MailScanner::SweepViruses::return_scanners();

This seems like I've gone around the houses, but it does work...

Cheers,
Steve.

Hi guys,

I changed the /etc/cron.daily/sa-update to:

Disabled=1

exit if $Disabled;

(had to remove the spaces between "Disabled = 1" too) and it still fails with
the error:

/etc/cron.daily/sa-update: line 10: exit: if: numeric argument required

Any ideas?

Michael.

I guess I second Jeff's request here. Mailman supports it and on all the lists
I run I use that feature. In my situation, I have a dedicated email account
which receives mailing lists, most mailing lists prefix the subject while
others don't.

The ones that don't are annoying (but the list maangers won't change it aka
Red Hat), but prefixing the subject line is done by others and it makes it
easier for users to filter them out into folders etc.

Yes that worked fine. Maybe Julian should make the necessary mods (bugfixes)
to the next distribution for this file?

I'm not sure I actually need it, since I use the rules_du_jour scripts to
update my rules, and I'm not familiar with what the sa-update actually does.

Thanks.

It's disabled by default for one thing, so you really don't need to 
worry about it. It updates the rules that come with SA, not the rdj 
rules, which are separate. The rules that come with SA probably don't 
need updating all that often anyhow, but you can try running it from the 
command line and see how it goes "sa-update -D" puts it in debug mode, 
so it'll tell you what it's doing, if it succeeded or not, etc..

I don't understand why people think they can only filter on the  
subject line? Surely you keep your list mail in separate mailboxes? I  
hate to think what I would do if it all landed  in my Inbox!

Arrghh.. I can't believe you just said that Julian. I am subscribed to over 50
mailing lists (that's my contrib to the Opensource community), and many
forums. I know Axel Thimm (atrpms.net) is subscribed and monitors over 250
mailing lists (that's his contrib), all done through filtering keywords and
the magic of procmail.

I'd hate to imagine having so many email accounts :)

In my case, filtering by subject is the best way.

Michael.

Subject: Mailscanner on OpenBSD 3.9
Message-ID: <200605241130.40886.r.zimmermann@siegnetz.de>

The version 4.54.2 works fine. But to get Mailscanner
running, I must manually install Filesys::Df from CPAN.
There a some problems with OpenBSD 3.9 and the
ports tree, but Mailscanner is running without problems.

After running version 4.54.2 I upgrade to version
4.54.4-1. There are then prolems with IMAPspam.pm
in the CustomFunction dir. When mailscanner starts,
this error message is logged:

... Could not use Custom Function code /opt/MailScanner/lib \
  /MailScanner/CustomFunctions/IMAPspam.pm, it could not be \
 "require"d. Make sure the last line of the file says "1;"

Julian,
    I use procmail to filter out stuff I don't really need to see, like
{Spam?}, and Netbackup reports, and some other system reporting.  But
I *do* want to see MailScanner msgs.  I would just like a quick way
to differentiate the mailscanner list from the mailscanner-beta list.
They look a lot alike at first glance.  BTW, my email client is Pine
on UNIX, my favorite editor is vi, I would probably drive a Yugo if 
they were still around...

I'm filtering with a rule that looks for "Reply-To: MailScanner
Beta-testers" in the header information. It works great.

I agree with Julian, the subject information is not the best way to filter
email.

Filtering on 'To or cc' in Thunderbird works good. It manages 100+ 
folders, and a few hundred thousand messages, 20 lists or so, sorted 
into various archive folders by year, about 100 message filter rules, 
plus a few dozen rss feeds and a couple newsgroups.

I still use Pine too, for remote access when I'm on a slow link, since 
the server here is pop3, it saves me having to download tons of mail 
from a remote location or use some webmail client. I've never spent much 
time trying to get Pine to really handle my mail though.

It does, but since I switched to only using IMAP and using procmail for 
filtering by headers (not subject), I've managed to use webmail, pine, 
thunderbird or any e-mail client without having to worry about importing 
or exporting filter rules.

Now if I could do something like that with LDAP for the address book and 
iCal for the calendars... :-)

I use a Cyrus IMAP server, and use some very long Sieve scripts to do 
all the filtering, so I don't have to bother with email client filters 
and their restrictions. I have a lot of filters so using client-side 
filters before Cyrus meant that switching email client was quite a job 
as I had to re-create all the filters :-(

Cyrus rocks!
I have had it installed for 1,000 very heavy users (all our staff and 
postgrads in our dept) since last summer. I have had to do 1 restart on 
it, and that was actually caused by amd (automounter) and not Cyrus 
anyway. Other than that, absolutely no maintenance needed whatsoever. 
Oh, and did I say how fast it is. Upgraded from UW-IMAP and the 
difference is enormous!
Shame I can't say the same for our SexChange server which only handles 
100 users yet needs far more maintenance time and effort.

There are currently 3 software packages that impress me:
1) Cyrus IMAPd (Unices)
2) Roboform Pro (PC)
3) ChronoSync (Mac)

Check them out, they are all very good at their jobs and have a lot of 
thought and time invested in them.

Subject: Max Values in MailScanner.conf
Message-ID: <44754020.9010203@ellisplace.net>

I upgraded to 4.54.4 yesterday and everything seems to be working fine except for using "m" and "k" values in the various Max... fields in MailScanner.conf. If I change those I get the following in maillog when starting MailScanner:

MailScanner[29686]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.54.4 starting...
MailScanner[29686]: Value of maxunscannedbytes cannot be a ruleset, only a simple value
MailScanner[29686]: Cannot open ruleset file 100m, No such file or directory
MailScanner[29686]: Value of maxdirtybytes cannot be a ruleset, only a simple value
MailScanner[29686]: Cannot open ruleset file 50m, No such file or directory
MailScanner[29686]: Value of maxgssize cannot be a ruleset, only a simple value
MailScanner[29686]: Cannot open ruleset file 20k, No such file or directory
MailScanner[29686]: Value of maxspamassassinsize cannot be a ruleset, only a simple value
MailScanner[29686]: Cannot open ruleset file 30k, No such file or directory

Not really a problem since when I changed the values back to the full numbers (ie 50000000 instead of 50m) and there are no other errors in maillog or when I run MailScanner --lint but was just wondering if anyone else is seeing this? I'm fairly new to MailScanner, Linux, etc. so I've probably overlooked something obvious but couldn't find anything in the archives about it.

Thanks,

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to look into this. As I
said, I'm working on learning this stuff but have a long way to go so it
must be some dumb mistake I've made somewhere along the line. I have
another box sitting here doing nothing and think it's about time to take
the things I've learned so far and start fresh.

I had problems with the last stable version 4.53.6 but with version 4.54.4 
everything seems to work fine.

A new stable or the current beta-->stable?

My humble opinion is that 4.54.4 IS stable, it has been working here for 
about 3 days and about 4000 mails.

Julian,

Having looked at the changelog, i think it would be beneficial to 
release a new stable version if you plan on a less frequent release 
cycle. The fixes look important, and the changes don't seem like they 
would cause any problems.

Thanks.

Subject: 4.54.5 beta pending new stable release
Message-ID: <4475FFEA.2030306@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

I have just released 4.54.5, which will become a new stable release in a 
few days if there are no major problems with it.

There have been a few problems with 4.53 and this is to remedy the 
problem. I will move it to stable in a few days.

Compared to 4.54.4 the only important change is the auto-update of Sophos.

The only new things over the previous beta 4.54.4 are these:

5 Added Net::IP Perl module as it is needed for SpamAssassin and Net::DNS.
5 Improved handling of Unicode encoded subject lines with a few trailing 
spaces.
5 Fresh translation of German languges.conf file.

5 Fixed bug in sophos-wrapper caused by confusion between Sophos V4 and V5.
5 Fixed bug stopping regexp rule /^$/ from working properly in rulesets.

Yep, well that was sorta the whole point in starting the beta list, 
wasn't it? The idea that this sort of upside-down-ness of beta vs. 
stable shouldn't be repeated if possible, but with frequent releases, 
it's likely to happen occationally. The increase of beta testing and 
reporting should help.

It does happen sometimes though, despite our best efforts.. as I 
(version 1) came before my son (version 2); but at 2 yrs old, he's still 
very much a beta human. ;-)

That said, I think 4.54.5 is out of diapers.

Hmm when i run the ./install script it dos not run the install of the 
Net::IP Perl module it gives the following info

Attempting to build and install perl-Net-IP-1.24-1
Missing file perl-Net-IP-1.24-1.src.rpm. Are you in the right directory?

Missing file /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Net-IP-1.24-1.noarch.rpm.
Maybe it did not build correctly?

So i just installed the module manually, but you might have to have a 
look at the install script

(What follows is intended as constructive!)  My understanding is that
4.53.y, which bears the label "stable", in fact has some serious problems
and so is actually unstable in use.  Whereas 4.54.x, which bears the
cautionary label "beta" is, in practice, more reliable (production
quality).  (Is that understanding correct?)  If so, then the labelling
("stable", "beta") becomes open to question (untrustworthy, even?) and
casts a shadow of doubt over the trust we can place in the MS product
that we download.

Knowing that the label "stable" means reliable is, to my mind, much more
important than release schedules.  Aiming at a regular schedule is nice.
But having the label "stable" mean reliable is absolutely essential.

So... 4.53.x or 4.54.x ?  My vote is that the "stable" link should point
to the most reliable.  And I understand that to be 4.54.x .

Hope that helps.

I have 4.54.4 running on my large cluster, no weird things so far... so if 
there are no big changes in .5 I think its ok! ;)

running 4.54.5 here on ubuntu dapper drake makes no problems at all. Can
be considered stable.

Subject: MailWatch problem with Latest Beta
Message-ID: <4476B3F2.9080901@e-sauce.com>

Hi Guys,

Im currently using the MailWatch.pm custom module todo logging into a 
MySQL database. However, when ive put the file into the CustomFunctions 
directory on the latest one (New box also) im getting MailScanner saying 
the following in the log:

MailScanner[17276]: Could not use Custom Function code 
MailScanner::CustomConfig::InitMailWatchLogging, it could not be 
"eval"ed. Make sure the module is correct with perl -wc

Any ideas?

perl -wc returns:

perl -wc MailWatch.pm
Useless use of private variable in void context at MailWatch.pm line 247.
MailWatch.pm syntax OK

Line 247 contains:

$file = $message->{file2safefile}{$file} or $file;

Not sure weither its the server or the new MailScanner install. But it 
runs on my other box which is running 4.50.14

Cheers,

Lee

OS: Centos 4.3 i386, running 'install.sh fast'

===================
Attempting to build and install perl-Net-IP-1.24-1
Missing file perl-Net-IP-1.24-1.src.rpm. Are you in the right directory?

Missing file /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Net-IP-1.24-1.noarch.rpm.
Maybe it did not build correctly?
===================

A perl-Net-IP-1.24-1.noarch.rpm in 'pwd' exists, but no 
perl-Net-IP-1.24-1.src.rpm. packaging error? ;-)

Rest installed fine..

Make sure that you have the Storable perl module installed.

This is just a harmless warning.

I installed 4.54.5-1 this morning. If it doesn't wake me up this weekend 
(3 day weekend here), then all is good. :-)

The install of Filesys::Df still seems a bit odd:

> Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

I do have the module installed, but it's an older version. (.78). You 
supply .90-1, but install.sh doesn't install it.

grep VERSION 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/Filesys/Df.pm
$VERSION = '0.78';

I installed it via CPAN and got .90. I also installed .80 of Statvfs via 
CPAN too.

After getting this same behavior on 2 boxes, I moved on to the last box 
and installed the 2 modules from CPAN first, then ran install.sh and 
there were no warnings; ie "Oh good, module Filesys::Df version 0.90 is 
already installed."

These are mostly identical FC4 boxes. Not sure if this is something you 
want to worry about or not.

Have a fun weekend!

Thanks,

Hi there,

I had the same problem and solved it by installing the 
MySQL-shared-compat toolset.

Regards,
Edgar
