Mailscanner 4.46/4.47 on Raq4

[Anders]

Hi,
trying to install Mailscanner on a well maintained Cobalt Raq4 (fully patched etc...)

I am using the rpm.package and trying to follow instructions found at http://www.qitc.net/
support/mailscanner/ (linked from the Mailscanner installation guides page).

I run into problem almost immediately, please see the following excerpt from my installation log:
---------------------------------------------------------------
[root MailScanner-4.46.2-2]# ./install.sh 


Good. You have the patch command.

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

Good, unpackaged files will not break the build process.

Good, you appear to only have 1 copy of Perl installed.

I think you are running Perl 5.00503.
Ensuring that you have all the header files that are needed
to build HTML-Parser which is used by both MailScanner and
SpamAssassin.

This script will pause for a few seconds after each major step,
so do not worry if it appears to stop for a while.
If you want it to stop so you can scroll back through the output
then press Ctrl-S to stop the output and Ctrl-Q to start it again.


If this fails due to dependency checks, and you wish to ignore
these problems, you can run
    ./install.sh nodeps

Setting Perl5 search path

I think your system will build architecture-dependent modules for i386

Missing file /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.30-1.noarch.rpm.
Maybe it did not build correctly?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Not a very good start to my installation..... I get other errors further along the installation as well. 
When extracted, I can see that there is a File::Spec package included.  ???

So, anyone has any idea on how to proceed?

Anders
