Thanks lot. I had the same problem when setting up freetts in CentOS 5. After installing “sharutils” problem is solved.

Thanks – I never would have figured out that I needed sharutils to get uuencode.

You could also use “yum whatprovides “, where is full path of the file that you’re looking for, instead of trying to track it down via google:

# yum whatprovides “*uuencode”
