CPAN not installing modules for Amavis

[ElgertS]

I am attempting to complete the installation of Courier IMAP, Exim, Spam Assassin, ClamAV, and Amavis. All steps are completed except for Amavis which when I run “amavisd debug” I get errors of missing required modules. I have managed to get some of them to install but a great deal claim to not be available on CPAN for download. I do not have any idea how to get around that problem. I can’t imagine it is true and feel most likely the problem is on my machine. I removed all the old Perl installs and reinstalled 5.8 in hopes of resolving, but the problem was not rectified.

I have worked for several more days on my CPAN sorrow. After reconfiguring it a few times and fighting with things to download I was able to get most of the modules loaded. The remaining two that Amavis demands are Compress::Zlib and Archive::Zip (which depends on Compress::Zlib). Also, by doing the “r” command to get a list of modules that should be updated I get four that are outdated, but get errors when I try to load them. Previously this list was around 12 but I have managed to get most to load. Some of the failures express known incompatibiliities with the Berkeley DB that ships wtih Mac OS X 10.2. I therefore loaded the latest release in hopes of solving the problem. It installed fine, but the problems remain.

I believe I have installed all the required modules for Amavis now. I had to manually install some and a few had to be forced.

Maybe this example command will do it?

force install Convert::TNEF

I saw that while doing some recommended reading. I have no idea if it will help but wanted to toss it out as an option.

Still does not work….. below is the output for Convert::TNEF.

Removing previously used /private/var/root/.cpan/build/MIME-Base64-3.05
CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/MIME-Base64-3.05.tar.gz
Checking if your kit is complete…
Looks good
Writing Makefile for MIME::Base64
— NOT OK
Running make test
Can’t test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
