<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

the effort, as it is a very useful tool. It took about a day or two to get it
up, not much hacking involved. The hardest part was installing all the
prerequisite perlmodules. I ended up using the CPAN module, and it became much
easier.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Has anyone tried to install RT on a Sun machine running
Solaris 9 or 8? If so there much additional work that need to happen before the
application functioned correctly? Was it Time effective? I have in the
past taken an application from the freebsd Ports collection and hacked it to
work under Solaris. However, I was not pleased with the amount of work and time
that it took to convert it. Basically I’m looking to find out the amount
of work and time it would take to implement Rt on a SUN machine running Solaris
8 or 9. </span></font></p>
