Just getting my brand new x86_64 install tweaked, and I installed everything with claws-mail in the name. The claws-mail program would not start. I had to first yum download compface and libetpan. Are some of the plugins missing dependencies? After manually downloading dependencies, I can start claws-mail, but it says it can't run the bogofilter program for spam filtering, yet bogofilter is installed on my system. I just noticed another missing dependency, back on stderr where I started up claws-mail, the bogofilter program is complaining about missing libgsl.so.0 (which would explain why it can't run).
Just from the sound of it, this sounds very unusual because the majority of library dependencies are automatic. That means, when the binary packages are built, rpm-build adds the necessary dependencies automatically. You cannot install such packages without resolving the dependencies. bogofilter most likely has an automatic dependency on libgsl, but on the 64-bit version.
