[Rt-devel] rt 3.8.1 compatibility with Centos 5.2

[Janet Houser]

Hi folks,

For the last two days I've been trying to get rt 3.8.1 working with 
Centos 5.2.

I had a working config of 3.6.5 and upgraded.  I was required to upgrade 
the mysql DB
in steps until I got to 3.8.1.  I did this and I think it is okay.  I 
did this successfully while running
Centos4.

I got to the point where apache wouldn't work right and it looked like 
an upgrade was needed but
the version wasn't available for the version of Centos4 I was running.  
I decided to upgrade to
Centos5.  This was done via the upgrade path with the install CD's.

I've run the configure commad (using the command I used for installing 
my previous working version
3.6.5) and did a test makedeps.  I get many missing dependencies:

make: *** [testdeps] Error 1


However, if I look at my system, many of these are already installed but 
at a higher version.

For example:

[root at rt rt-3.8.1]# perl -MCPAN -e'install "DBIx::SearchBuilder"'
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:02:51 GMT
DBIx::SearchBuilder is up to date.


but the make testdeps says:

       DBIx::SearchBuilder >= 1.54...MISSING

Does rt 3.8.1 work with Centos5?  If it does, I'm thinking something 
went funky
during the "upgrade" process since I see some rpms with a fc6.i386 
extension.

I've tried running make fixdeps and re-getting all the CPAN stuff but so 
far no luck.

Any suggestions so that I don't have to wipe the whole system and start 
from scratch
would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Janet
