Subject: Installation of .../share/spamassassin
On this system (RedHat-8.0 with a custom compiled perl-5.8.0 and a recent MakeMaker) the rule files got installed into /share/spamassassin, which is a strange place, it should probably be /usr/share/spamassassin or /usr/local/share/spamassassin. Some interesting lines from the generated Makefile: DESTDIR = PREFIX = $(DESTDIR) PERLPREFIX = $(DESTDIR)/usr/local SITEPREFIX = $(DESTDIR)/usr/local ... PM_FILTER = $(PERL) build/preprocessor -Mconditional $(FIXBYTES) -Mvars -DVERSION="$(VERSION)" -DPREFIX="$(INST_PREFIX)" ... INST_PREFIX = $(DESTDIR) ... PKG_DEF_RULES_DIR = $(PREFIX)/share/spamassassin DEF_RULES_DIR = $(INST_PREFIX)/share/spamassassin Regards, Slaven
Hi there -- please reopen on http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/ , we don't use CPAN's RT. this is a known issue with recent MakeMakers, which no longer use the PREFIX var. We're working around it for 2.60. --j.
As noted previously, we do not use this bugtracker
