He obtained majordomo by ftp from its standard archive, then ran gcc on it on the local host. He first got an error from majordomo complaining that it can't find ctime.pl. I checked my installation of FreeBSD on a different machine and found that the *.pl files seemed to come with the source distribution (we had only installed the basic binary distribution on the host in question). So we copied over that directory and put the *.pl files into majordomo's directory. He now got a second and more arcane error. He recalls reading in the majordomo docs that it requires a recent version of perl, and that earlier versions definitely won't run. Is this a known issue? Has anyone gotten majordomo to run in the FreeBSD 2.0 environment. Any specific tips or caveats? Thanks much for any help. Frank frank@jplpio.jpl.nasa.gov
