Re: amavis installation

[Mithun Bhattacharya <mithun.b@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Almost every software comes with a file called README amavis-perl-11
also has one such file. According to it
-------------------
Software Requirements
=====================

  The idea is to use perl modules where ever possible so that the script
can
be as self-contained and independent as possible.  This should hopefully
make it much more portable and reduce the number of hacks required to
deal
with subtle differences between commands on different UNIX systems.

  But some perl modules are not ready for prime time yet, so we still
require a number of external commands.

  The configure script will stop with an error message if the following
external commands/programs are not found. See doc/amavis.txt, or the
amavis web site at http://www.amavis.org/ for information on where to
get these.

 o perl (obviously)
 o virus scanner software (obviously)
 o file
   A file command which understands the -b option is required, e.g. the
   one from ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/
 o arc
 o bunzip2 (part of the bzip2 package)
 o lha (version 1.14g or later!)
 o unarj
 o uncompress (standard on Unix and Unix-like systems)
 o unrar
 o zoo

  procmail is only required if amavis is configured for use as local
mailer
(/etc/postfix/main.cf:$mailbox_command) with postfix. See README.postfix
for details.

Perl Modules
============

  In order to run this script you need the following perl modules
installed.
They are all available from CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/).

IO-stringy
Syslog
MailTools
MIME-Base64
MIME-tools version 5.313 or better (!!)
Convert-UUlib
Convert-TNEF 0.06 or better (!!)
Compress-Zlib
Archive-Tar
Archive-Zip
libnet

  If you have the CPAN module installed, the most convenient way to
install
these modules is to launch the CPAN shell with

  perl -MCPAN -e shell

and tell it to:

  install Unix::Syslog
  install Convert::UUlib
  install Convert::TNEF
  install Compress::Zlib
  install Archive::Tar
  install Archive::Zip
  install G/GB/GBARR/MailTools-1.15.tar.gz
  install MIME::Tools
  install Bundle::libnet
-----------

I really hope people can figure out the rest from here....
