unpack the tarball in ~/local/
Personally I unpack it to ~/lib/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.20/
and then do "ln -s Mail-SpamAssassin-2.20 SpamAssassin" for easy
upgrades.
Then, cd into that directory and do "perl Makefile.PL; make". There's
no need to do a "make install".
Finally, in .procmailrc, you'll want your version of:
:0fw
| $HOME/lib/SpamAssassin/spamassassin -P -a -c $HOME/lib/SpamAssassin/rules
(that probably just means lib->local)
That really should be all there is.
