Hello Bart,
Thanks for your very detailed description. However, I'm still unable to get
it running, although there are less error messages now ;-)
The path where I installed the contents of the latest CVS version (2.20)
is "/home/<username>/spamassassin".
The error message that keeps apperaring during the make process and when
starting spamassassin is
opendir(./../../..): Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/FindBin.pm line 143
There is one variation when running "make test":
opendir(./../../..): Permission denied at t/SATest.pm line 38
Any ideas what goes on there?
Bye,
Frank
