<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'll definitely preface this by saying it has been some time since I've used Linux, and I've never dealt with Perl Modules before, so I could just be being dumb here. :)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm running into problems with the install of Apache::Session and DBD::MySQL 2.0416. I've combed the archives of messages to this list and found a command to force the install of the Apache::Session module (perl -MCPAN -e'force install Apache::Session') but that still didn't work; the tail end of the error message is:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Failed 2/18 test scripts, 88.89% okay. 0/89 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 29</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Running make install</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> make test had returned bad status, won't install without force</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sooooo...sort of at a loss as to how to even debug this one. I'm not sure if I've hosed things up to the point of reinstalling everything.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've got a RedHat 7.1 system with MySQL 3.23.36. When I ran "make testdeps" to begin with, I didn't have any of the modules, so I ran "fix testdeps." In doing so, it pretty much rebuilt Perl completely, so that could be my issue.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for any insight you may have....</FONT>
