Problems installing MergeUsers

Hi Everyone,

I have just tried to install the Extension RT::Extension::MergeUsers from
CPAN on our instance of RT 3.8.6.

Unfortunately trouble soon surfaced as shown below, bad make test. Any
ideas what may contribute to this?

cpan[7]> install RT::Extension::MergeUsers

Looks like your test died before it could output anything.

Your RT installation isn’t @INC so cpan can’t access RT::Test.

Note that the README says nothing about make test,
and few if any other extensions seem to include tests because
of this and other headaches.

Thanks Jerrad, so in this case would you think it’d be ok to use force
install here?

Certainly. But then, I never install via the cpan shell (build and
test as lowly user),
and generally install regardless of test results (as long as success is 80%+ :wink:
