Hi,

Just to report that it looks like a parameter is missing in the
INSTALL file for single user installation. I don't know if this was
mentioned in this mailing-list, but a quick search did not turn up
anything.

If one runs

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/sausr SYSCONFDIR=~/saetc

make install may miserably fail, due to the fact that perl then tries to
write some modules into the system wide perl repository. Then, all hell
breaks loose, as spamassassin simply bails with a perl interpreter error
saying it can't find the required libraries. The fix is trivial, just
run:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/sausr SYSCONFDIR=~/saetc LIB=~/salib

before make && make install.

However, this is not mentioned in the INSTALL file, and may discourage
some novice users.

(This pertains for version 2.43, on a Solaris 8 platform with Perl
5.6.1, no root privileges. Unsure about other platforms/versions,
haven't tried it.)

Regards,
