This error message is due to a typo in CSCMailInstaller.pl  download a new one
from the website and try again... If you get other errors, please paste the
FULL error log so I can see what they are...

Kernel? no.... (Not to mention you don't tell the version of the Kernel, just

So, if it turns out that there is something mis-installed on your system, you
will not fix it, but try another e-mail client?  That makes no sense...  (Not
that I am implying that there IS something mis-installed.... but if there is,
fixing a mis-installed lib would be hi priority in my mind...)
