qmail (LWQ) installation error *spot the n00b*


Arghh .. well you would expect a Windows user trying to set up a qmail sever on an nslu2 to fall on his backside at some point.

ok - this is the issue - I'm unpacking my bits - following the instructions:

==========
cd /usr/local/src
gunzip netqmail-1.05.tar.gz
tar xpf netqmail-1.05.tar
cd netqmail-1.05
./collate.sh # watch for errors here
===========

I run the ./collate.sh command and I get the following errors:

===========
You should see 7 lines of text below. If you see anything
else, then something might be wrong.
[1] Extracting qmail-1.03...
[2] Patching qmail-1.03 into netqmail-1.05. Look for errors below:
patch: No such file or directory
wc: No such file or directory
============

Any help would be appreciated.

ahhh ... well even us windows boyz can work at least some of this out. It seems that 'patch' was an app I had failed to install. And I guess that wc is also - although I can't find this for my little system.

edit - what the hell is wc when it's at home?
