           Summary: Can't run spamd as non-root install
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: matt@nightrealms.com


I have the SpamAssassin files installed in my home directory tree, and use
it just for myself, but I use spamd/spamc to keep from having to waste CPU
cycles restarting spamassassin once for each message.  This was working for the
dev verrsion of SA checked out against the date 2004/01/18, but for
2004/02/05, it kept failing when I tried to daemonize spamd (like usual), but
worked fine if I didn't daemonize it.  Using strace, I saw that it couldn't
find the libraries, even after setting the PERL5LIB env var to the appropriate
value (at least, I think it was appropriate).

To get it to work, I had to softlink /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/Mail
to $SA_HOME/lib/Mail
