What are the system requirements for the F-PROT Antivirus Mail Scanner?

Although F-PROT Antivirus for UNIX Mail Servers will operate on less vigorous machines, this recommendation is to ensure optimum system operation.

• Intel Pentium or higher / AMD K5 or higher
• Most UNIX distributions, including SuSE, Red Hat and Debian
• 10 MB of available hard disk space

F-PROT Antivirus Mail Scanner depends on the Perl 5.8 interpreter being present. If your computer does not have Perl 5.8 installed by default, please consult your manual on how to install it.

F-PROT Antivirus Mail Scanner also depends on a couple of Perl modules. MIME::Base64 and MIME::QuotedPrint need to be present on your system in order for Anomy to work. To install these modules, run the command perl -MCPAN -e shell from your command-prompt as root. Complete the questionnaire, and when you reach the cpan prompt(cpan> ) type in install MIME::Base64. Next, type in install MIME::QuotedPrint. That should complete the installation of the two modules.

Please note that if your system meets the requirements stated above but you still receive a "failed dependencies" error, use the --nodeps argument when trying to install the rpm, e.g.

rpm -Uvh --nodeps fp-UNIX-ms-4.3.2-1.i386.rpm
