Sorry to be dense here, but I have two ways I can try to install this:

1. rpm --rebuild the-source-rpm supplied in the MailScanner tarball
2. cpan> install ...

The rpm rebuild fails with bzip2 invalid flag problems and the cpan
method fails to compile.  Changing language variables does not appear to
be an answer to this.

Is there a third way?  Googling seems only to find rpms for the wrong OS
or source rpms that then don't exist when I follow links.  This seems
way more difficult than it should be, so that usually means I am missing
something.

thanks to those who persist with this

best regards
Brian
