Missing files during new installation

[Simone Morandini]

Hi all,

I tried installing MailScanner on a RedHat ES 3 server that wasn't 
running it.
During the install.sh script, I got many error messages about missing 
files. In detail, this is the list:

Missing file /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Net-CIDR-0.11-2.noarch.rpm.

Each one of this message was preceded by a "error: Bad exit status from 
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39250 (%install)" kind of message and followed by a 
"Maybe it did not build correctly?" message.
Finally, I got some failed dependencies too:

Installing tnef decoder

error: Failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed by tnef-1.4.5-1
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by tnef-1.4.5-1
        rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by tnef-1.4.5-1

Now to install MailScanner itself.

NOTE: If you get lots of errors here, run the install.sh script
NOTE: again with the command "./install.sh nodeps"

error: Failed dependencies:
        perl-MIME-tools >= 5.412 is needed by mailscanner-4.74.16-1
        tnef >= 1.1.1 is needed by mailscanner-4.74.16-1

I would like to know if I need to manually install all the missing RPMs 
or if there is some kind of automated process.

Thanks,
Simone.
