yeah, I'm working on that. but it doesn't appear to be quite that simple. :(
The setup.py proggie appears to do a bunch futzing around with creating/modifying files before squirreling them away in various places.
Which is why package managers like rpm were invented. You could try using the spambayes package from Fedora EPEL (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL), either in binary form, or in case you build from SRPM you can even upgrade the tarball version and build a more recent version.
Hmm... I didn't realize that EPEL offered spambayes. I'll keep that in mind for the next time I rebuild that system.
per my later emails, I did resolve the problem, so it's not urgent anymore.
thanks for the suggestion, though.
Fred
