DavidT Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 This is a continuation from some OT stuff I started here: http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8782 So...Graeme, it seems that my primary sticking point is the lack of "Authen::SASL" which I tried installing using cpan like this: i Authen::SASL and my box responded like this: CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Tue, 02 Oct 2007 05:36:43 GMT Strange distribution name [Authen::SASL] Module id = Authen::SASL DESCRIPTION SASL authentication framework CPAN_USERID GBARR (Graham Barr <gbarr[at]pobox.com>) CPAN_VERSION 2.10 CPAN_FILE G/GB/GBARR/Authen-SASL-2.10.tar.gz DSLI_STATUS RmpO (released,mailing-list,perl,object-oriented) INST_FILE (not installed) I tried this, because I was having problems during a manual install of the SMTP_auth Perl module.

GraemeL Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 So...how to proceed? My fault. The i command only looks for modules matching your text and doesn't actually try to install them. Run cpan and then try "install Authen::SASL". Once you've done that, there hopefully shouldn't be any more dependencies and the make on NET::SMTP_auth should be able to complete.
