You really shouldn't install SpamAssassin from binary RPMs. The Binary
RPMS wre built for a different verion of perl. SA if installed from the
distributation will be installed to locations determined by Perls
compile time cofiruation.

You should download the source RPMs and rebuild them for your system.
This will build RPMs that can be installed on you system.
