Spamassassin 2.63 Build

Dear All,
I am having difficulty building SA 2.63.
Having run perl perl Makefile.PL and then make I get the error "Makefile:94: *** missing separator. Stop."
editing the make file shows a whole lot of lines that look incomplete. I have include a section of the make file below.
Has anyone had experience with this ? The source I am using comes from the spamassasin web site.

installsitescript='/usr/bin'
installstyle='lib/perl5'

installvendorarch='/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi'

Why do I see this message on this list so many times every week? Does no
one read the Wiki at all??

Would an FAQ really be an FAQ if people didn't ask the questions in public? ;)

FAQ:

http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/MakeMissingSeparator

http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/Pod2ManRedHat

(hmm, the snort-user's list assigns joking penalty drinks for asking a
FAQ... perhaps we should do the same.. spamassassin-users might be a pretty
drunken place as a result.. perhaps that's not a good idea)

Yes, if whenever someone read the FAQ on the site they clicked a "this
answered my question" button.

LOL

Well, I guess, at least they can be referred to the wiki and we don't
have to rewrite the response over and over and over.... It must just be
my nature, but I like to research a little before I ask a question. And
since the wiki is the only official place to find support information
besides asking, you'd think that would be the best place to start... But
then that's just my thinking...

I love how this list actually posts messages reasonably now!

I don't like that "reply" doesn't just come back to the list however. :-\

Amen! Most lists I'm on have a Reply-To: line that contains the list
address. On my favorite mailer (Mutt), if I hit <r>eply, it offers
that address to reply to, but if I hit <n>o, it brings up the address
in the From: line, the poster.

I really dislike having to use the <g>roup reply to get the list
address, and then it goes to the Cc: line. I see little point in
replying both to the poster and the list - it seems a waste of
bandwidth. To avoid that is a waste of keystrokes.

Cheers,

Er.... and this is different from the list as it was on SourceForge how?

I usually try to stick in an explicit "Reply-To" header pointing to the
list, myself; but I don't always remember.
