Problems with Fedora core 1

RT Users
1

I am installing RT on a FC1 machine.

I have installed the stock MySQL-server RPM
I have compiled Apache 1.3.31 & Mod perl mod_perl-1.0-current as per
instructions
I cave configured RT

Now the problem

perl sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-modperl1 --install

downloads all the perl modules I need bar 1 HTML::FormatText

This module is listed as missing.
I have tried a CPAN shell install and have searched CPAN but have been
unable to find this module.
Is this module still available? Has someone got a copy?

Regards R Mortimer

I don’t remember exactly, but it was some typo in module name, but I
really think it was fixed.

Don’t you want to try Request Tracker Wiki?

Robert,

Here’s how I got around the HTML::FormatText problem.

  1. perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Font::AFM’ (prerequisite)
  2. http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Format-1.23.tar.gz
  3. tar xzvf HTML-Format-1.23.tar.gz -C /export/src
  4. cd /export/src/HTML-Format-1.23
  5. perl Makefile.PL
  6. make
  7. make install

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Robert,

Here’s how I got around the HTML::FormatText problem.

For what it’s worth, this is biting folks other than RT users. One of
the maintainers of SlashCode and I chatted earlier today after they
independently got bitten by this issue. We’re working on getting it
figured out and have email into the maintainers to see what’s up.

Going forward, we’re also looking at keeping a publicly accessible
private CPAN repository of everything RT needs to get going.
