How to do Bayes

[Billy A. Pumphrey]

I am trying to get bayes running, this is my first time so I don't know
exactly what I am doing.  I have tried the following things and I don't
know what to do next.  Any help is appreciated because I just don't want
to dig in and break something.

- I have looked in the manual and not been successful

COMMAND: spamassassin -D --lint
RETURNS:
debug: bayes: DB_File module not installed, cannot use Bayes

My first guess is to install the DB_File module.  I have found that
here:
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DB_File/
Its almost obvious that I need to install this, do I and what version
should I use?

COMMAND: check_bayes_db
RETURNS:
