amavis won’t start

[BobC]

Hi folks,
I’m trying to get amavisd running on MacOS X 10.3.4 Server. The problem I’m facing and not able to solve is that after running trying to start amavisd, I get an error:
ERROR: MISSING REQUIRED BASIC MODULES:
Unix::Syslog
BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at /usr/bin/amavisd line 123.

it’s weird, because I’m sure that Unix::Syslog is installed. I even forced the installation but it didn’t help. Does anyone have an idea how to solve it?

You should verify if Unix::Syslog is really installed ….

$ pico /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/perllocal.pod

and search for the string ‘Unix’

Last version is 0.99.

You should also have this file on your system:

/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Unix/Syslog.pm

Hm,
I had two installations of perl on my server and the amavis was looking for the second

I’m getting this same error after installing perl 5.8.5. Amavis was running fine on perl 5.6.1. Can anyone hand me a clue how to fix it?

I hadn’t, but I have now and all is well again. Thanks!

If I do not have the string “Unix” in that file does that mean that Unix::Syslog is not installed? If that is the case – how do I go about installing it?
