SpamAssassin and Vipul's Razor

[Sam McKnight]

I am trying to install SpamAssassin and Vipul's Razor to run with sendmail on hp-ux 11.11. Logs of the attempted installations are attached.

With razor, I get complaints about not having ANSI C. Do I need ANSI C to install razor?

With spamassassin, the installation fails after the /usr/bin/perl build/preprocessor command. Do I need Gnu C or ANSI C there, too?

Thanks for any help you can give.

The only compiler that comes with HP-UX is the K&R C compiler, and is used for compiling the kernel. The ANSI C compiler is the minimum needed to compile programs but it is a priced product from HP along with the development tools. The GNU C compiler is a free alternative but for either choice, you will need some experience with libraries, make files and dependencies.

Shalom Sam,

Just to save money you might want to try gcc from the porting and archive center.

Properly configured it may be able to compile spam assassin.

If you are using HP-UX in an ISP or mail server role, I'm very interested. Check my profile and use my email form.

Bill and Steven,

Thanks for your responses. It looks like I need ANSI C or GNU C to continue with SpamAssassin and Vipul's Razor.
