the problem you have is that your system seems not to have a "make" pre-compiler:

Previously to a compilation is needed to create a Makefile. In your case you have a 'Makefile' file but you haven't the 'make' binary, or it seems.
Your compilation stopped at Makefile line 92 and the error is just this:
> /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
you have no make in your system. Install it (or create a link to your make if it's installed in a different path than the installer search for, that is /usr/bin/make) and all will work fine.

Hi,
Sorry if these questions sound dumb, but being an absolute newbie to spamassassin I'm having a hard time setting it up:
I tried to install spamassassin using the Perl-interface (CPAN) on a Redhat8 system; as per the "INSTALL"-file:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
and then
install Mail::SpamAssassin
First of all it fetches SA v 2.55 instead of the new 2.60
Then it works on and finally complains with this error message:
CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JM/JMASON/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55.tar.gz
Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good
Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure, your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make'
Writing Makefile for Mail::SpamAssassin Makefile:92: *** missing separator. Stop. /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
cpan>
However "pod2man" *IS* there: # which pod2man /usr/bin/pod2man # file /usr/bin/pod2man /usr/bin/pod2man: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable
BTW, I also tried getting SA 2.60 up directly from the tar.gz-File using "perl Makefile.PL" - but again it complains about a missing "pod2man".
Any ideas what could be wrong here?
TIA for your help -ewald
