I'm trying to build SpamAssassin v3.0.1 on OSR507 with MP3 and UP3
installed using the SCO supplied perl v5.8.4. The make appears to
complete OK, but 'make test' produces a lot of failures, mostly dealing
with the BayesStore stuff. I suspect a problem with the db library. I
have hardly any experience with perl, but perl -MDB_File -e 1
indicates the db module is installed.

I've seen others post here stating they're using SA, so can one of you
give me a hint what might be wrong?

I'd like to know too. I compiled fine, skipped the tests, and installed
it, but sa-learn just wasn't working.

Now I don't feel so bad. I'm running the SA3 on a FreeBSD system
and my sa-learn is broken too. So it's not just OSR5.

Are you sure sa-learn is broken and it is not just a problem dealing
with old bayes stores? When I upgraded to SA 3.0.1 on my Gentoo boxes, I
had to deal with some bayes database issues. IIRC, I had to re-import
the existing bayes stores (sa-learn --import)

I saw the error on the old Bayesian dbs. I think it's some other
problem that sa-learn is tickling.

JP just said his was 'not working' but gave no details.

In mine I can see the messages being accessed, and an error line,
and then it would leave lines from some of the messages as
file-names in my home directory.

Now at least it's creating weirdly named empty files but can't
seem to open the messages. And at least I get more than gibberish.
I'll get a round tuit and look at the problem soon.

Here's where I got with this. I was able to build spamassassin 3.0.1
and 3.0.2 without errors but I had to build my own perl first to do so.
At this point I discovered spamassassin requires a sendmail (I'm
running the SCO provided one) built with Mail Filter API (libmilter)
support. I briefly looked into building my own sendmail until I
learned the API requires threads. So, unless I'm willing to change to
another MTA, I'm out of luck.

Why your own perl, what's wrong with the SCO-supplied 5.8.4 version?

And how did you learn, or where does it say, that the 3.0.x spamassassin
requires that API in sendmail?

I don't know what the problem is with the SCO provided perl, but using
it, I was unable to build spamassassin without the errors previously
mentioned. I built and installed perl 5.8.6 and the necessary modules
and spamassassin now builds without the errors. I can provide specifics
of my perl/spamassassin configure options and perl hints file if anyone
wants them.

It was inferred from reading the material here:
