Please, if anyone has difficulties configuring bogofilter and is told to
see "config.log for more details", please have a look, typical hints are
around "failed compile" or something. If you don't dare reading that
file or can't figure it out, that's fine, then please provide us with a
possibility to download the config.log file or negotiate mailing the
file (filing it as attachment to Sourceforge's bug tracker is also fine
if you have a Sourceforge account).

Note FreeBSD has a bogofilter port that I maintain and that is pretty
current (0.11.1 currently), which is usually the more convenient way of
installing bogofilter:

cd /usr/ports
make update
portinstall bogofilter
# use "portupgrade bogofilter" if you've got a previously-installed
# version
