On the other hand spamassassin-tools-3.0.2-1.i386.rpm claims that Parse::Syslog ans Statistics::Distributions are needed. I install those two modules by perl -MCPAN -e shell. The variable @INC contains the directories we need and in fact in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 I have Parse and Statistics with the Syslog.pm and Distributions.pm files respectively.
Anyway I still have the error perl(Parse::Syslog) and perl(Statistics::Distributions) are needed by spamassassin-tools-3.0.2-1
What kind of error am I doing ?
any RPM requirements can only be satisfied by installing an RPM. RPM is not aware of anything you do in CPAN, or install via source tarballs, thus as far as RPM knows, you don't have those tools.
You can use a the RPM parameters to force an install, but this is slightly ugly.
Realistically, RPM should be treated as an "all or nothing" thing for most products. Either install from RPM, or install from source, but try to avoid mixing the two randomly unless you're forced to do so.
