Question : When i try to install MailScanner on CentOS 6.3, i get the following error :
[root@mx1 MailScanner-4.84.5-3]# ./install.sh I am logging everything into "install.log". Good. You have the patch command. ./install.sh: line 107: rpmbuild: command not found Your /usr/src/redhat, /usr/src/RPM or /usr/src/packages tree is missing. If you have access to an RPM called rpm-build or rpmbuild then install it first and come back and try again.
Solution :
From the error above, rpmbuild command not found in the system caused the error. This software is the prerequisite software and if you want to install using install.sh shell scrip.
./install.sh: line 107: rpmbuild: command not found
Just run the following command to install rpmbuild on linux CentOS 6.3 :
