This was indeed the issue. During the MailCanner install I was prompted
that ExtUtils::Makemaker needed upgrading. so I ran the
upgrade_makemaker.sh script and the MailScanner install proceeded just
fine.
After the dinking with the SpamAssassin install I went back and forced
an upgrade to the redhat perl rpm since that is where makemaker lives.
After that, the spamassassin src rpm built just fine.
I emailed Julian (MailScanner author) and he said that getting these
paths right is one of the reasons for the Makemaker upgrade. He also
indicated that no one else has had these problems on 7.3 that he has
heard of.I told him I would let him know if I found out what happened.
Has anyone else experienced probelms with rebuilding src rpms after the
MailScanner install?
Has anyone else been prompted to upgrade the ExtUtils perl module?
Definetly some funky stuff and if I can save someone elese from having
these same problems by helping Julian get it right, I would like to.
Any tips appreciated.
