[CSCMail-Users] CSC Mail Install Help

[Kent A. S. <ke...@au...>]

Hello,

I just tried to install CSCMail using the perl install script and here's =
what happened:

1) it launched a gui ABORT/GO dialog. I told it to proceed.
2) it looked to be installing items and compiling, etc.
3) then it left me at a prompt

I tried to run it by typing:  cscmail at the prompt and I was told that =
it didn't exist.  So here's what I did next:

1) downloaded the no-modules RPM
2) installed the RPM with GnoRPM

I tried running it again and it found the binary, but I got an error =
that there was an undefined symbol on line 55.  I don't have the exact =
error right now (on another computer) but it was an undefined symbol =
error.

What did I do wrong?  Can I correct it?  I've since tried =
removing/reinstalling the RPM a few times with the same results.  I =
thought that the installer perl script was supposed to do EVERYTHING, =
but it isn't on my computer.

Please e-mail me directly as I cannot subscribe to this list at this =
time.  Thank you.

did you run CSCMailInstaller as Root?

Looks like you don't have either GtkHTML or GtkXmHTML installed.  CSCMail
1.6.1 requires at least ONE of those HTML libraries.  The installer does
not download those HTML widgets.  It does compile XmHTML perl bindings if
it can.  I suspect there where errors in the installer terminal window,
but they may have scrolled by quickly.

What distribution do you run?  Can you check and see if you have
libgtkxmhtml.so on your system?

It assumes a few things, such as the existence of Perl, as well as the
existance of an HTML widget.  I will modify the website to make it clear
that you MUST have either XmHTML or GtkHTML installed on your system form
1.6.1 to work...  To be honest, every Linux distro I have encountered
comes with XmHTML....
