RE: [CSCMail-Users] Problems Installing

[Richard P. <ao...@ds...>]

Thanks Daniel

I think you are right. It seems CSCMail is no longer being developed,
and the work  redirected to Pronto, so I have shifted to trying to
install that. Things went more smoothly, but again I got stuck at the
last point! At the very end I get a message along the lines of:

 Sh: CD/root/prontobuild URI-1.19: no such file or directory

I assumed that I needed to install URI 1.19, which I think I found OK as
an RPM on the web. But when I try to run the URI RPM I get a message
about failed dependencies, and a statement that it needs Perl 5.6. I
have the necessary version of Perl on my machine, but the URI RPM
doesn't seem to find it. How do I get it to find Perl when I run the rpm
command?

Thanks for all your help.

Richard
