Thanks for the reply.

mine too
 _mandir        %{_prefix}/share/man
 
even with /usr/lib/rpm/macros set back to 
%_infodir               %{_prefix}/info
%_mandir                %{_prefix}/man

( I had added the share)

anyway I think the issue is that the MailScanner install.sh updated
ExtUtils::MakeMaker and the Spamassassin Makefile built by Makefile.PL
has  the mandir as /usr/man  I have no idea where $(INST_MAN1DIR) gets
set by Perl.

I am going to reinstall perl and see what happens.  I did get it to
install and all appears to be working.

Now on to imaps or what ever it is called.
