The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Dan Pritts <address@concealed>]

Hi Chad,

The specific error you're running into can probably be handled by installing 
the right db-devel and/or db4-devel RPMs from Red Hat, but you're probably 
going to run into more.   You might try your CPAN build on an RHEL5 system 
that has the full developer tools installed.  

I use EPEL and RPMForge repos; these are generally not compatible with one 
another and you need to be careful how you configure yum if you want to use 
both of them.  I typically add an "includepkgs=" line to the EPEL yum.repos.d 
file since i only get a very few packages from there.

You'll need a source for mod_fcgid; i found it at EPEL.

I was able to get most of the required perl modules from RPMForge.  I've 
appended below all that i've installed from there; not all of it may be 
required for sympa.

A few other modules were not available from rpmforge, and in the interests of 
expediency i installed them via CPAN and/or rolling my own RPMs.  

I have these spec files lying around, most of them were for sympa.  probably 
not mail:pop3client but who knows.

perl-HTML-StripScripts-Parser.spec  
perl-Mail-POP3Client.spec 
 perl-MIME-Lite-HTML.spec
perl-HTML-Parser.spec  
perl-HTML-StripScripts.spec         
perl-MHonArc.spec
