OK, I’m really close to getting all the modules installed.
In fact, there’s only one left to install.
DBD-Pg
The reason I’m having difficulty is the lack of step by step
instructions on installing this module. Maybe someone on this list is
running a similar setup, and can tell me what I need to feel it.
I’m configuring RT on one machine, with Postgres on a different machine.
The RT machine is Mandrake 9.1 (so I get perl 5.8). DB server is Redhat
7.3 (Postgres 7.2).
When I run the install for DBD::Pg, (cpan or rt-test-deps) it asks me
for “Path to pg_config?”
What do I feed it? This ISN’T the machine with the database on it.
Is there anything else I should know before continuing with this
installation using multiple machines?
Thanks in advance.

You’ll want to use a newer Postgres. 7.4.1 is out now and very stable.
It offers a significant improvement in many aspects. At least use
7.3.5 if you’re not ready for 7.4.

Do you have the Postgres libpq installed on the client machine?
DBD::Pg uses it. Also note that DBD::Pg 1.31 (the current on CPAN) has
a serious flaw that causes it to dump core. I’d stick with the prior
release (1.22) for now.
