Mine's in /usr/local - not /usr; has been since 2.4+
I wonder what makes the difference? I have been installing from src rpms since 2.4 myself. IIRC, it was installing in /usr/bin on RH 8 as well. What distro are you using and how do you install SA? I am running 2.55.

Distro is highly modified RH 7.2/kernel.org 2.4.19-ACPI (you name it, it's mostly the latest release, apart from Gnome 1.4 itself.) I updated as far as 2.43 using the tarballs, but stepped over to 2.50-CVS and am now on (tested and confirmed working on every update) 2.60-CVS. All the previous tarballs installed to /usr, not /usr/local.
It's manually installed using cvs direct from SA's CVS server, using 'cvs -Pd'. It's SpamAssassin.org itself that wants it in /usr/local, not me - which doesn't bother me at all, as long as it stays constant.
/usr/local is the place where most new compile-it-yourself stuff or standard binaries get installed, as far as I'm concerned. Examples are Acrobat Reader, Mozilla, Openldap 2.1x, Cyrus SASL, Berkeley BDB 4.1 and many more. Exceptions are Postfix 2.0 and Exim 4.
Best,
Tony
