CPAN Install Fails
CPAN install fails consistently. E.g.,

Have you got any answers on this? I have the same problem. Other numbers of
errors. So I am stuck with 3.1.0

Bob -
You can give read permissions (if needed) on the SpamAssassin CPAN build
folder (usually /root/.cpan/build/<packagename>-<random-key> - on my
system it was: /root/.cpan/build/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5-Bpy3vr) to some
non-root user on your system - ie: bob
as bob run make test in the /root/.cpan/build/<packagename>-<random-key>
folder.
If that succeeds then you can switch back to root and finish installing
via make install.

Here's some info I found on this issue. http://markmail.org/message/6rriowqf3brbntiv#query

How did you run make test as non-root? I ended up installing
SpamAssassin from source and it worked fine. Of course maintenance
will be a little more difficult but I just wanted to get the thing done.

I've found that the 'make test' part of spamassassin fails when run as
root on some machines. Since you need to run CPAN as root to install
spamassassin I've found that it fails for me on most systems.
A workaround I've done in the past is exiting cpan - finding the cpan
source (usually /root/.cpan/build/<packagename>-<random key>) and
running make test as non-root. This usually succeeds and I can also run
make install from that directory to install it.
Hope this helps

Or, install it from source. I've had problems myself installing
Spamassassin via CPAN, so many problems at a time, in fact, that I
simply gave up and went with package management - which worked first
time and every time after. Installation from source has been a bit more
hairy, but nowhere near as hairy as a CPAN install.
>From what I have read on the net, it would appear that CPAN installs are
best left alone unless you really know what you're doing and are willing
to fix things before you get the product installed - but that's just _my
opinion_. I don't want to tick anyone off on the list who really likes
CPAN - I have nothing against it - I just don't use it :).
2cents.
Cheers,
Mike

Well, there’s always “install it with yum”:
yum install spamassassin
Hope this helps,
