I lost my Windows XP desktop this month while I was out of town. I've now reconstructed it from scratch, using the vendor's recovery disks, ie: wiping out everything (fortunately all data is on backups).
I installed current Cygwin, all needed modules (I believe), then using CPAN installed all modules needed for SpamAssassin, and then attempted to install SA also via CPAN. t/dnsbl is failing, with messages like: > t/dnsbl..........Bareword found in conditional at t/dnsbl.t line 15. > Not found: P_2 = <dns:134.88.73.210.dnsbltest.spamassassin.org> > > [127.0.0.4] > # Failed test 1 in t/SATest.pm at line 530 ... > t/dnsbl..........NOK 15# Failed test 17 in t/SATest.pm at line 530 > fail #17 > Not found: P_13 = DNSBL_TXT_TOP > # Failed test 18 in t/SATest.pm at line 530 fail #18 > t/dnsbl.....................FAILED tests 1-18 > Failed 18/22 tests, 18.18% okay Then, > # Failed test 1 in t/SATest.pm at line 530 > t/spf.......................NOK 1# Failed test 2 in t/SATest.pm at > line 530 fail #2 > t/spf.......................FAILED tests 1-2 > Failed 2/2 tests, 0.00% okay Resulting in: > Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed > t/dnsbl.t 22 18 81.82% 1-18 > t/spf.t 2 2 100.00% 1-2 > 5 tests skipped. > Failed 2/67 test scripts, 97.01% okay. 20/1493 subtests failed, 98.66% okay. > make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 > /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK Now, I don't /need/ network tests on this machine -- I use this for rule testing and mass-checks, and not for any actual mail processing. I can install SA and ignore these network tests, and do what /I/ need, but then I couldn't contribute network results to any global mass-check runs. As far as I can tell, I have all needed prerequistes, including: > cpan> install Net::DNS > Net::DNS is up to date. > cpan> install Mail::SPF::Query > Mail::SPF::Query is up to date. I'll push forward and see what I can figure out about this, but I throw this to the list to see if anyone has run into anything similar and can help me short-circuit this process and get me running (I still have about 20 other applications/suites to install before I'm back where I was when I left town). Thanks for any help. Bob Menschel
