You might need a "python devel" package. Many linux distributions put distutils in a separate "development" package of Python (which is pretty stupid IMO). [...] > Can I just copy the required files manually? If so, what files (or > directories) are needed to use spambayes with procmail? You don't need to use distutils, no. Put the spambayes directory (the one with __init__.py in it) anywhere you like, and make sure that Python can find it. The easiest way to do that is make sure that the path to is in the environment variable PYTHONPATH. Then all you need is whatever scripts you plan on running (e.g. sb_filter and sb_mboxtrain) and you can run them from wherever you like. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
