It's not the Perl build. Nothing ever says that you MUST build perl on the same machine you use it in (thats what distributions are for!) It is normal for you to not have all the libraries that were required to build perl. I really think that we can get rid of those extra libraries. On Debian, spamc builds with just libc. -- Duncan Findlay _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
