just follow the manual install instructions on the twiki, or follow the
instruction that are on the bigadmin page for sol9

I have a few questions, as I’m having a bear of a time getting all the
dependencies installed. Did you have any issues getting it up and
running?

Issues I am running into:

  1. Can’t get Test::Expect and Expect::Simple installed
  2. Can’t get GD, GD::Graph, and GD::Text installed (Maybe this has
    something to do with the libgd I am using?
  3. Can’t get Test::WWW::Mechanize installed

Questions:

  1. Which gcc are you using. (Sun supplied or your own compiled version.
    Also version number.)
  2. Which Perl distribution are you using? (Sun supplied or your own
    compiled version. Also version number.)
  3. Which gdlib are you using? (Sun supplied or your own compiled
    version. Also version number.)
  4. Which libiconv are you using? (Sun supplied or your own compiled
    version. Also version number.)
  5. Which expat are you using? (Sun supplied or your own compiled
    version. Also version number.)
  6. which libgd libraries are you using? e.g. - libpng, etc (Sun supplied
    or your own compiled version. Also version number.)

Thanks,
Brian

do you use packages or src for your apache/perl/mysql etc… ?
which directions are you following ?
are you installing perl-modules via cpan or src ?

You don’t need Test::Expect, Expect::Simple and Test::WWW::Mechanize
on a production server, these are dev’s dependencies and in 3.6.4 we
have a fix for this issue and ask only when --with-devel-mode option
is enabled.On 3/28/07, Brian_Gupta@timeinc.com Brian_Gupta@timeinc.com wrote:

Most probably during next month. I’m not sure, but in your case that
doesn’t matter, just ignore absence of those modules and continue with
installation.On 3/29/07, Brian_Gupta@timeinc.com Brian_Gupta@timeinc.com wrote:

What Ruslan’s saying is that the issue is in the the dependency-
checking system, not RT itself.

I understand, I figured if it was coming in the next few days, that I
might as well wait for it (not particularly for the testdeps fix). Since
it’s at least a couple weeks away, I will forge forward with 3.6.3. (I
have decided to wip everything and starting over just using the source.

Which proceedure is the most uptodate?

Perlbinary = /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc
Apache = /usr/apache2
gcc = /usr/sfw/bin/gcc – gcc version 3.4.3

Mysql = I haven’t installed the mysql module yet, so I haven’t decided
if I am going to use the /usr/sfw/ package, the coolstack package, or
install my own.

For RT I first run the testdeps and then the fixdeps. Of course it only
gets so far.
I then run: “make testdeps|MISS” to get a list in one window.
I then manually use CPAN to install the modules:

Note, as you have perl binary in not standard location then you must
define path to perl on very first step:
PERL=/usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc ./configure …

As well you should use this binary when you start CPAN shell:
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -eshellOn 3/29/07, Brian_Gupta@timeinc.com Brian_Gupta@timeinc.com wrote:

Just to make things cleaner, I am getting all the packages form Sunfreeware.com. The Perl package is compiled with gcc, so there shouldn’t be any issues. (I also got their version of gcc, flex, GD, libpng, mm sleepycatdb and MySQL).

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Brian, All;

I know I’m late in coming to the thread, but have you looked at
blastwave’s rt package?

http://www.blastwave.org/packages.php/rt

Getting RT installed and configured is always a chore imho, but this
package made it alot easier the last time that previous times I’ve done it.
