sa-learn error message

[Mike Spamassassin <sa...@ernstoff.net>]

I have installed SpamAssassin 3.0.3 on Debian Linux using the
SingleUserUnixInstall instructions on the SpamAssassin Wiki, as I do not
have root access.
Perl version is 5.6.1

Everything seems to work OK, but I get one error message.
When I run sa-learn --sync I get
"Parameter to use lib must be directory, not file at
$HOME/local/lib/perl5/i386-linux/Razor2/Client/Agent.pm line 13"

I had the same problem with SpamAssassin 3.0.2

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I know Unix but not much Linux and very little perl.

Thanks in advance

Mike

Arguably this is a Razor question (it's their module), not a
SpamAssassin-specific question, but ...

In my install, line 13 in Agent.pm is:

use lib qw(lib);

So I'm assuming you have a file named "lib" somewhere.  Possibly in
the directory where you're calling sa-learn, though I can't be certain
there's no chdir'ing going on.

Thanks Loren and Theo, both for the suggestions and for responding so
quickly.

I had assumed the lib was the name of some kind of a perl variable.
Once you pushed me in the direction of it being the name of a file or
directory I did a "find" from local and found two occurrences, one being a
file the other being a directory. The first one, the lib file was not part
of SpamAssassin or razor so I moved it, and now the error message has
gone.

Just from the error message, I would assume you had set up Razor, or at
least enabled the razor rules.  And there is something wrong with the way
you set it up.  It looks like you have to specify a path someplace (maybe in
razor configuration?) and you have pointed to a file instead of a directory.
