[rt-users] RedHat Datasource.pm Installation Problem

[Fred Reimers]

All,

I'm installing RT for the first time and am having a problem with the
initial installation.  I've tried the installation with both mysql and
Pg but get the same error in Datasource.pm.  

I'm running Redhat 7 and I've installed Apache mod_perl.  I've installed
all of the mysql modules, etc. and 'make testdeps' runs cleanly.   When
I try to reinstall the Datasource modules it tells me that everything is
up-to-date.  How do I get past this??


make install produces the following output:

[root at netsaint rttmp]# make install

Here's the configurable portion of the Makefile that I'm using:
