I've just been building some RPM's for SA 3.1 - it appears that the
MakeMaker config has changed between 3.0.x and 3.1.x.

How did you build SpamAssassin?? - I found that I had run:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr SYSCONFDIR=/etc/mail/spamassassin 

to get it to look in the correct places (in 3.0.x I only had to specify
PREFIX).

Kind regards,
Steve.
