Red Hat 7.1 & inn-2.3.1-2

[David Hansen Jr.]

Help!  I've got the Red Hat rpm of inn installed (2.3.1-2), as well as 
inn-devel.  I edited /etc/news/inn.conf.  I then tried running 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inn start, and it bombs out with:
"Please run makehistory and/or makedbz before starting innd."
I ran makehistory (and makehistory -f history), and then makedbz, and I get 
another error:
"Can't do dbzagain, No such file or directory"

I'm lost now.  Any chance some kind soul can help?

Thank you kindly,
David
