This worked fine for filtering until recently. I am now consistently getting the following error in my procmail.log:
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i486-linux-thread-multi/auto/NetAddr/IP/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
procmail: Program failure (127) of "/usr/bin/spamassassin"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
Google has not been my friend. There are some entries but nothing pertinent to this particular usage problem.
So far I have updated perl via perl -MCPAN -e shell upgrade, and forced perl to rebuild spamassasin in case of version incompatibilities.
Checking the specific perl module listed reports:
cpan[3]> r NetAddr::IP::Util
All modules are up to date for NetAddr::IP::Util
After receiving 10 spam mails today I have only just run spamassassin from a shell and found exactly the same problem. No solution yet. I'm on slackware64-current, btw.
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i486-linux-thread-multi/auto/NetAddr/IP/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

Somehow you've installed a 32bit perl module on Slackware64. It should be under /usr/lib64/perl5/..., or /usr/local/lib64/perl5/... if it was installed for 64bit perl

Not here. I'm running 32bit on a 64bit machine.

There seems to be a problem with previous version of spamassassin and the recent Perl 5.12. You might try to upgrade spamassassin to the recently released version:
Ah, ok then.
Then it's the NetAddr::IP (not NetAddr::IP::Util) module that has the problem. I guess you should reinstall the module and see if it works.

I was afraid of an answer like that.
I remember last time I installed or upgraded spamassassin: I downloaded and manually installed a lot of perl modules one by one, totally independent of Slackware package management. It took forever. Only for spamassassin itself I used the slacky.eu slackbuild.
This time round, same disaster. I don't know what happened, whether it was my upgrading perl modules via cpan or what, but spamassassin did not find all or some of his dependencies. So the slackbuild wouldn't run. I tried cpan2tgz, but that was a complete failure. Certainly did not resolve dependencies, and complained about nonsensical missing modules.
In the end I bit the bullet. I was a bit more clever and used the "cpan" executable. That saved some time, but of course the result still is a lot of cruft under /usr which is not under control of Slackware package management.
The good news: it solved the issue reported in this thread.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# install spamassassin 3.3.2 on Slackware 13.37
# on the ruins of a botched spamassassin 3.3.1 installation
#
# your mileage may vary
#
cpan -fi Digest::SHA1
cpan -fi Digest::HMAC_MD5
cpan -fi Encode::Detect
cpan -fi IP::Country
cpan -fi Net::IP
cpan -fi Net::DNS
cpan -fi NetAddr::IP
cpan -fi Net::Ident
cpan -fi IO::Socket::INET6
cpan -fi IO::Socket::SSL
cpan -fi Mail::SPF
cpan -fi Mail::DKIM
cpan -fi Mail::SpamAssassin

I have done the following:
cpan[1]> r NetAddr::IP
Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
------------------
All modules are up to date for NetAddr::IP
cpan[2]> force install NetAddr::IP
----------------
Appending installation info to /usr/lib/perl5/perllocal.pod
MIKER/NetAddr-IP-4.044.tar.gz
/usr/bin/make install -- OK
If it stills complains, try to remove the NetAddr::IP module (it's a bit tricky, so better use cpanplus), download the module source and compile it yourself

I have removed the module and rebuilt from source. I just sent myself a series of test messages and will report back.
Removed Socket6, downloaded source, installed, resending test messages. Great. Now:
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i486-linux-thread-multi/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr
Why am I using 5.10 modules on 5.14? mv'd the 5.10 dir to 5.10-bak. Resending test messages.
Ok this seems to have worked, so I'm marking this solved. Note, due to inattentiveness when rebuilding spamassassin, it installed in /usr/local/bin rather than /usr/bin/ This created another problem, but easy to fix.
