Installationproblems :(

[Marcel Blenkers]

Hi there,

ok...

these are my problems after updating to the latest version:

Archive::Zip:

Said it would need perl in /usr/local/bin/..but there is a perl-version
available on this place.

MailScanner starting:

Mailscanner does not create the MailScanner.pid-File under /var/run/.
Mailscanner does not get started within 2 Minutes. But..if i do send an
mail, MailScanner does start, and writes the following errors:

Aug  9 12:25:44 marcel MailScanner[17821]: Could not open file

or directory

The last stable Version did work without any Problems :( Just that the old
Version did not find any Viruses within RAR-Files.

But, the latest Version is not able to do the same..even after patching
the File sended by Julian :(

System is:

SuSE 8.1
Perl V. v5.8.4

Disc-Space should be enough..

i even tried to reinstall MailScanner.. :(

nothing for the better..

if Julian wants to, i could add him an user on this maschine and put him
within the sudoers..

Maybe he will find a thing ;)

Is there a way to download the last stable version and reinstall this one?

Greetings Marcel
