Which is why package managers like rpm were invented. You could try using the spambayes package from Fedora EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL), either in binary form, or in case you build from SRPM you can even upgrade the tarball version and build a more recent version. Or you could stick with spamassassin that comes with CentOS by default and get it to work: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/BayesFaq Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
