Greetings.  We're trying run the Cornell Spider program to search our 
linux  boxes for sensitive information (SSN's, credit-card numbers, 
etc.).  Here's the link:

http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/security/tools/spider-linux.html

The program has the appended prerequisites.  We've been able to satisfy 
many of them with packages that were already installed or that were 
available from the dag or dries repositories.  This is on an i386 system 
running SL 4.4.

But we couldn't find all the prerequisites in those places.  In 
particular, we couldn't find:

     File::LibMagic
     File::Path

     wvText
     unzoo
     arj
     readpst

We installed the File::* modules via cpan, which isn't so bad, although 
I prefer to install strictly via RPM's if possible.  The packages are 
more of a problem.

Google tells us that there ARE RPM packages available in various places 
on the net for all of the missing software (wvText, etc.).  But in my 
experience there's a lot of tail chasing involved in trying to use such 
RPM's (will those Mandriva or Suse RPM's work on this system?), not to 
mention the fact that the parentage of some of these packages is 
somewhat dubious.

Can anybody suggest a better approach?  Has anybody got Cornell Spider 
running under SL 4.4?

Thanks.
