[rhn-users] install addtional modules]

[Riley, Liz (ACHE)]

Ah, up2date gzip means gzip the binary is installed, but perl doesn't
have a bunch of scripts that constitute, "Archive::Tar" .. Certainly
sounds like your perl is missing some bits. Sorry if this sounds a
little patronising, however, linux<>perl they arent the same. Perl is a
language, it would be like saying visual basic = windows. Only perl runs
on all flavours of unix and windows.

I did an almost default install of RH, and my install of spam assassin
worked.

Not sure what to suggest, as Id guess perl -MCPAN -e 'install
Archive::Tar' wouldn't work

Are gzip and tar both pathed? Did you try this as root? Rather than gzip
Id guess its looking for compress/decompress

I ran perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin'
and I recieved a:

CPAN.pm needs either both external programs tar and gzip installed or
both the modules Archive::Tar and Compress::Zlib. Neither prerequisite
is available. Can't continue.

so I typed:
up2date gzip

"The following packages you requested are already updated:
gzip"

and up2date tar
and I get "The following packages you requested are already updated:
Tar"

Im sure Im missing something very basic about how Linux works...
??
thanks for all the help!!!

Would love to answer, but I always used

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Mail::SpamAssassin'

To install it.. It then will auto install anything I needed
