I haven't done any RH 7.0 testing with CSCMail, but I doubt there should be any
problems...

What errors did you get from the installer script?

ARGH!!!!!!!! you didn't need to install ANY of this...	In fact,
CSCMailInstaller.pl will grab a known good version of gnome-perl from my site
and install that for you if it can't find Gtk-Perl bindings.

So far this looks ok....

The script hangs???? any errors?  how long did you let it sit before deciding
it was "hung" ?

The 1.6.1 CSCMailInstaller.pl script is hopelessly out of date... ONLY use the
script available on the http://www.cscmail.net website...

So MIME::Parser didn't get installed.... Run the CSCMailInstaller.pl script
from our website, or simply grab a copy of MIME::Parser from CPAN and install
it...  Also, you should use the tarball of CSCMail 1.7.9 available from
SourceForge if you want the latest CSCMail...

I haven't done any testing with gtkhtml-0.5 ... I recommend you use cschtml-1.1
as it doesn't have the lame GNOME dependancies of gtkhtml, and it compiles nice
and easily...
