    Hey friends,

     Yestarday I installed FC3 through NFS .I wanted to test Mail Scanner
    with clamav + postfix.While installing MailScanner it said there are
    no /usr/src/redhat directory.

    I was surprised to see that redhat directory under /usr/src was not
    there.I created redhat directory under /usr/src .Under redhat
    directory I created RPMS,BUILD,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS subdirectories and
    under RPMS subdirectory I created athlon,i386,i486,i586,i686 and
    noarch directories.

    I again tried to install MailScanner and it keep showing this while installing

    Missing file /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-Net-CIDR-0.10-1.noarch.rpm.
    Maybe it did not build correctly?

    Attempting to build and install perl-IO-stringy-2.108-1
    --rebuild: unknown option

    It keeps coming for every rpm under MailScanner.I tried to install
    those .src.rpm manually.They got installed but when i tried to build
    them

    rpmbuild -ba perl-Net-CIDR-0.10-1.spec.

    "It said file not found."

    I forget to install the software development tools while installing
    the FC3 .But later on whatever libraries and programs
    (make,binutils,gcc) which were needed by MailScanner I installed it.I
    have only selected KDE and X windows for Desktop Environment.

    a)I want to know the reason for /usr/src/redhat directory missing at
    the first place

    b) What I have to do to make MailScanner installed properly.

    Thanks & Regards

    Ankush Grover
