Sorry for the delay in getting to spamassin. Will take a look at this this afternoon, post *something* in here today.
Installed without issue on my perl 5.8 box. Attempting on perl 5.6.1 now. It's a slow box, so it could be morning before I can get back to you.
OK, time to ask the questions I didn't ask before. I just installed this without problem on my perl 5.6.1 box. Which version of perl are you using? Which release? Gcc version? Platform? Any and all relevant information welcome! Thanks, Mike
I actually found that it will install if I do "emerge Mail-SpamAssassin -e". I'm running perl 5.6.1. Let me see if I get the same error on any of the other boxes I administer.... No. I'm not. That's weird; it happened on both my laptop and my desktop and another machine I tried. But now it has stopped happening. It's possible there was something screwy in one of the dependencies which was subsequently fixed.
Are we good for closing this then? Just wanted to be sure :)
Yeah.... it works now. Must have been a dependency problem that got resolved. Thank you!
