I've had this problem in the past, I think it was something to do with UTF
char sets.
Try 'echo $LANG' - if it says 'en_US.UTF-8' type 'export LANG=en_US' and
start the build again from scratch, I think this will sort it out.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63]# perl Makefile.PL
What email address or URL should be used in the suspected-spam report
text for users who want more information on your filter installation?
(In particular, ISPs should change this to a local Postmaster contact)
default text: [the administrator of that system]
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Here's an excerpt of Makefile from around the location of the error:
85 installvendorlib='/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.
86 INSTALLVENDORLIB = ib/perl5'
87 installusrbinperl='def
88 INSTALLARCHLIB = /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi
89 INSTALLSITEARCH = /usr/lib
90 INSTALLVENDORARCH = /usr/lib/perl5/ven
91 INSTALLBIN = /usr/bin'
92 installhtml1dir=''
93 installhtml3dir=''
94 installman1
95 INSTALLSITEBIN = /usr
96 INSTALLVENDORBIN = /usr/bin'
97 installvendorhtml1=''
The Makefile seems all messed up. The single quotes seem unbalanced,
for example...
Any idea what's going on?
