I've found that the 'make test' part of spamassassin fails when run as
root on some machines. Since you need to run CPAN as root to install
spamassassin I've found that it fails for me on most systems.
A workaround I've done in the past is exiting cpan - finding the cpan
source (usually /root/.cpan/build/<packagename>-<random key>) and
running make test as non-root. This usually succeeds and I can also run
make install from that directory to install it.
Hope this helps

Well, there’s always “install it with yum”:
yum install spamassassin
Hope this helps,
