<div dir="ltr">I have given up salvaging my upgrade. I will keep the database only (which - fortunately, still has my 1000+ tickets in it).<br><br>I'm a linux newbie. The RT community's help has been priceless.<br>
<br>Unfortunately, I'm still at a loss a bit. I've gone step by step through the readme doc. I installed a fresh, pristine LAMP ubuntu server. I have correct versions of perl, apache2, and mysql. I created a pw for the root mysql user.<br>
<br>I untarred the gz file.<br>I ran <b>sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/rt3.8 --with-db-database=tickets --enable-gd --enable-graphviz</b><br>Here is the output:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c<br>

</div><br>I know this is about my 15th total newbie post - but I have to get my tickets db back up and running soon before my sanity expires - and I don't think I can afford the support incident fee (besides, I really need to understand what's happening here).<br>
<br>Thanks so much for contributing so much time everyone.<br>-Chris<br><div><br></div></div>
