Please help. Me very confused

How did you install SpamAssassin?
If you used their RPM, then uninstall it and re-install from the .tar.gz
file instead.

By definition, a single RPM of perl modules cannot work on all versions of
all distributions, as the correct installation directory can only be
determined when the RPM is built and not when it is installed.

This is why the MailScanner installation script goes through the process of
building each RPM in turn from source, then installing the newly built RPM.
