I have been using SpamAssassin for quite a while. Today I encountered
issues installing version 3.1.7. As strange as it is, it starts with
the installation of the following CPAN Module:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install ExtUtils::MakeMaker'
Can't locate object method "install" via package "ExtUtils::MakeMaker"
at -e line 1.
Running the CPAN Shell ( perl -MCPAN -e shell) and then issuing the
install command resolves this issue.
The second problem is the make install command inside the source directory.
/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7] make install

However, the binaries do not get updated.
Any suggestions?
Are you running "make install" as the super user?
Steve
Yes, is this a problem now? I read nothing in the INSTALL Guide.
