           Summary: Makefile messes up path
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 2.63
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Building & Packaging
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla@heydlauf.de


This will not be a problem for most SA users - anyway.

I discovered a problem after distributing my SA installation
over several servers, spamd did not want to start:

# spamd 0 -d
bash: /client/bin/spamd: No such file or directory

That's because the perl interpreter can not be found.
My perl path is /client/bin/perl on every server I run.
Unfortunately this is a link to a perl which is located
somewhere else - and this path differs from server to server
depending i.e. on disk-volume and partitions.

Apparently the SA Makefile expands links during the
installation.

My make ist done with:
                PERL_BIN=/client/bin/perl \

and results a correct /spamd/spamd.
Unfortunately the blib/script/spamd which is installed,
differs:

Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63$ diff spamd/spamd blib/script/spamd        
1c1,4
< #!/client/bin/perl -T -w
---
> #!/sw/i386_fbsd4/perl-5.8/bin/perl -T -w
> 
> eval 'exec /sw/i386_fbsd4/perl-5.8/bin/perl -T -w -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
>     if 0; # not running under some shell


Would you please either not expand links or 
give me a switch turn this 'feature' off?
