RTFM 2.X won't install, gives error

I’ve tried everything to get it to work correctly. The make is pointing
to the right RT install. I noticed the RT config is using RT_Config.pm
and not siteconfig but changing that helps nothing. any ideas?

for dir in cd ./lib/ && find . -type d -print; do
/bin/sh ./install-sh -d -m 0755 /usr/local/rt3/lib/$dir ;

It looks to me like you’re running a version of RT older than 3.0.5. You
really want RT 3.0.6 to make RTFM happy

I am running 3.0.6… Thats the weird part… Ok here is the issue. I
upgraded from RT-3.0.1 to the all the releases until RT-3.0.6. However
it seems the sbin directory in my RT install with the database stuff
never got updated… The “make upgrade” doesn’t copy a new version of
the rt-setup-database out there.On Tue, 2003-10-07 at 17:26, Jesse Vincent wrote:

And that’s a bug. One I’d never heard of even. I’ll open a bug report.
In the meantime “make install” shouldn’t clobber things. With RT 3.0,
the different install/upgrade targets don’t actually currently have much
utility.> On Tue, 2003-10-07 at 17:26, Jesse Vincent wrote:
