Install RT4, error free!

My notes for an Ubuntu 16 install:

sudo apt-get install libgd-dev libgraphviz-dev graphviz autoconf apache2 libapache2-mod-fcgid slapd ldap-utils expat openssl libssl-dev

Install standalone Perl for RT:

   $ wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.26.3.tar.gz
   $ tar -xzf perl-5.26.3.tar.gz
   $ cd perl-5.26.3
   $ sudo ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/opt/perl5
   $ sudo make
   $ sudo make test
   $ sudo make install

Use new Perl install:

 $ export PATH=/opt/perl5/bin:$PATH
 $ which Perl

Install meta cpan:

  $ wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/M/MI/MIYAGAWA/App-cpanminus-1.7044.tar.gz
   $ /opt/perl5/bin/perl Makefile.PL
   $ make
   $ make test
   $ sudo make install

Tell RT to use metacpan:

   $ export RT_FIX_DEPS_CMD='/opt/perl5/bin/cpanm --sudo --notest'

Configure RT:

./configure --enable-gd --enable-graphviz

Then you can run make fixdeps

Hope this helps!
