Yes, I know what it means, but see below (I'm not sure exactly where the request for /usr/bin/perl5.8.3 is coming form or how I fix it) ... > Bob says: > > I think the problem has arisen since upgrading my Mandrake system from > > 10.0 to 10.1, it looks like 10.1 uses Perl 5.8.5, I think 10.0 was on > > 5.8.3 > > I would bet that /usr/bin/perl5.8.3 does not exist after the upgrade, > and possibly /usr/bin/perl5.8.5 might from the information you gave. > Also, I would imagine that their is either a hard or soft link in > /usr/bin that points /usr/bin/perl to whatever version you currently > have installed, and that might be better to use vs one that is specific > to the exact version you are running. Like I said, I'm at the limits of my talent here ;-) Here's an ls -l /usr/bin/perl* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 12 06:24 /usr/bin/perl -> perl5* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 12 06:24 /usr/bin/perl5 -> perl5.8.5* -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 11132 Oct 27 21:36 /usr/bin/perl5.8.5* I'm still not sure where to go from here - I initially suspected that spamassassin was compiled against perl5.8.3 and was therefore looking for that ... which is why I recompiled it hoping that would fix things but it hasn't. I fully accept that I'm probably being dim here, but would be grateful if you'd humour me ;-) -- Regards, Bob
