Hi,
Ok but this basically sucks. I'm sure I should be installing from ports. But
I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install source
files.
When I try to do a pkg_add to install the mimedefang port that I've
downloaded from freebsd.org, I get this:
radius# pkg_add -r mimedefang.tar.gz
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4
-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not
found, no
access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
`ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-
4-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz' by URL
So I moved the tarball over to /usr/ports/distfiles, extracted it and ran
make. That resulted in:
radius# more distinfo
MD5 (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 9c4df4ec349e414f893c940ff563bea5
SIZE (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 302006
radius# make
"Makefile", line 53: Malformed conditional (${PERL_LEVEL} < 500601)
"Makefile", line 53: Need an operator
"Makefile", line 55: if-less endif
"Makefile", line 55: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
At this rate it'll be forever before I get mimedefang installed and in the
meantime I have customers upset because they are receiving unacceptable
levels of spam. Surely someone can help me out with installing mimedefang
from source and getting this sendmail stuff I have questions about working.
Of course, if someone wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong in trying to
install this as a package and howe to do it right, that would be OK too :-)
I'm going to CC this to the FreeBSD list in case someone on that list might
be able to help.
Thanks,
Lisa Casey

Hi lisa,
You should use the port system to install it on freeBSD, think of it
like the rpm for redhat... :)
