Hello,

I am a long time user and big fan of mimedefang. My server run 2.39 until
yesterday, when I decided to upgrade to 2.42. What I did is to download all
the perl libraries and mimdefang itself and compile them in oder, just like
in the how-to.

I get this error when I start mimedefang or run the perl file from the
command line:

[root at murat murat]# /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl
Mail::Header defines neither package nor VERSION--version check failed at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/MIME/Head.pm line 119.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/MIME/Head.pm line 119.
Compilation failed in require at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/MIME/Parser.pm line 147.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/MIME/Parser.pm line 147.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl line 136.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/mimedefang.pl line 136.

I guess Mail::Header is related to with MIME-tools-5.411a but I cant really
figure it ut since I am newbie to perl

And also although my system has perl 5.8.3  and MD 2.39 run on 5.8.3 this
error includes 5.8., that is confusing for me....

My overall system is:

Fedora Core 1 (updated to perl 5.8.3 with official fedora updates)
sendmail-8.12.10-1.1.1
and no spamassasin

Any ideas?

Have a nice day.
