The problem here is that saint was built on a system with some
mis-positioned binaries. If you do a "which perl", I'll bet money
you'll find that you have "/usr/bin/perl", not "/bin/perl". If it's
really looking for that, then I'd suggest that you grab the src.rpm,
install it, cd to /usr/local/src/redhat/SPECS, and type "rpm -ba
<specname>" where <spec name> will be the file, probably saint.spec,
that you'll find there after installing the src rpm. Then cd to
../RPMS/i386 and install the saint RPM that you'll find there (assuming
all goes well).
