[rt-users] RT 3.8.8: Extension installation via CPAN does not work

[chrislist]

Hi,

when updating our old installation to 3.8.8, I installed RT in
/usr/local/rt manually (not via CPAN) and am now trying to install the
QuickDelete and ReportSpam plugins via CPAN. Although these are
installed, I cannot enable them since RT won't restart after enabling
the plugins in RT_SiteConfig.pm.

This is what I put in to enable them:
Set(@Plugins,qw(Extension::ReportSpam Extension::QuickDelete ));

This is the error:
[Sun Aug 15 14:36:39 2010] [error] Can't locate Extension/ReportSpam.pm
in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/rt/bin/../local/lib

These are the core variables:

RT::LocalEtcPath 	/usr/local/rt/local/etc

RT::PluginPath 	/usr/local/rt/plugins
RT::SbinPath 	/usr/local/rt/sbin
RT::VERSION 	3.8.8
RT::VarPath 	/usr/local/rt/var


The plugins end up in
/usr/local/rt/local/plugins/RT-Extension-QuickDelete and
[..]/RT-Extension-ReportSpam, so they are where I'd expect them to be.
However, RT doesn't like them.

What am I doing wrong there?
