[rt-users] make initdb dumps core

[Roy McMorran]

Hello folks,
I'm building a fresh install of RT 3.4.2 on a new system:
Solaris 9, freshly paved
Perl 5.8.7
MySQL 4.1.2

and I'm hitting a wall at "make initdb" when it tries to "Create templates":

root at testbed# gmake initdb
/usr/local/bin/perl //usr/local/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init 
--dba root --prompt-for-dba-password
In order to create or update your RT database,this script needs to 
connect to your mysql instance on localhost as root.
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no 
database
password, just press return.

Creating templates...1.gmake: *** [initialize-database] Bus Error (core

It appears to be dying inside DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle ...here are 
the last few lines of a perl -d trace
(I can provide the rest if needed):

DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::SimpleQuery(/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm:477):
477:        my $executed;
478:        {
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::SimpleQuery(/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm:479):
479:            no warnings 'uninitialized' ; # undef in bind_values 
makes DBI sad
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::SimpleQuery(/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm:480):
480:            eval { $executed = $sth->execute(@bind_values) };
DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::SimpleQuery(/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm:480):
480:            eval { $executed = $sth->execute(@bind_values) };

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Thanks and best wishes,
-r

PS: Thanks for RT, it is awesome!
