Problem Getting MailScanner running on Cobalt RAQ 4 w/ updated OS

[Mike Kercher]

Upgrading perl itself was probably not a good idea on a RAQ as the admin
interface/scripts are all perl based.  Have you considered a more recent
hosting platform?

Hi Mike and Kai,

Ok, stay with me, I'm fairly new to Linux.  I was able to run cpan and
update the version of perl on the system.  Of course now when I try to run
the ./install.sh it tells me that I have two versions of perl no my system
and to "get rid" of any traces in /usr/local.  I did that, and it still
tells me I have two versions running.  I tried to use the ignore-perl
switch, it seems to run through the install scripts, and then when I try to
start the services is gives me a new error with new Begin Failed messages.

Any help is appreciated,
Alan

Good. You have the patch command.

Good, you have /usr/src/redhat in place.

Good, unpackaged files will not break the build process.

You appear to have 2 versions of Perl installed, the normal one in /usr/bin
and one in /usr/local.
This often happens if you have used CPAN to install modules.
I strongly advise you remove all traces of perl from within /usr/local and
then run this script again.

If you do not want to do that, and really want to continue, then you will
need to run this script as
        ./install.sh ignore-perl
