Problem installing RT: httpd.conf error

Hello RT users/developers!

RedHat 8
apache 1.3.29
mod_perl 1.29

Configuring apache for RT, I’m getting the following error message…

xxx configtest

[error] Base class package “Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy” is empty.
(Perhaps you need to ‘use’ the module which defines that package
first.) at /opt/rt3/lib/RT/I18N.pm line 58

Syntax error on line 1211 of /usr/local/apache_1.3.29/conf/httpd.conf:

*** Indeed the offending line in my http.conf is:

PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

*** and everything points back to the “fuzzy” module, which I have
installed for the new perl:

locate Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy
/home/perl_5.8.7/man/man3/Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy.3

*** I am not sure why then I’m getting the error… stated above as:

[error] Base class package “Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy” is empty.
(Perhaps you need to ‘use’ the module which defines that package
first.) at /opt/rt3/lib/RT/I18N.pm line 58

*** Given that lines 53-59 in I18N.pm are:

package RT::I18N;

use strict;
use Locale::Maketext 1.04;
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon 0.25;
use base (‘Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy’);
use vars qw( %Lexicon );

Will very much appreciate any suggestions, ideas…

Thanks!

You probably won’t appreciate this suggestion, but RedHat 8 is
very old. Can you update to either Centos4 or a current fedora?
As a side effect you’ll get a usable perl and MySQL and access
to updates via ‘yum update’.
