[rt-users] Installing 1.0.2 on Sun

[Randy Millis]

Ok I'm a rookie, I honestly and openly admit it... Hope ya can help me
or at least point me in the right direction.... :-)

I am trying (still) to install RT 1.0.2 on a Sun (SunOS  5.7
Generic_106541-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1) and I am stuck.

I have Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2209 and the documentation says:

[cut]

First you need to install the DBI module.

[...]

I recommend trying automatic installation via the CPAN module. Try
perl -MCPAN -e shell

install Bundle::DBD::mysql

[cut]

Ok, so I do this and I get:

[cut]
t/akmisc............FAILED test 44
 Failed 1/351 tests, 99.72% okay
t/dbdadmin..........ok
t/mysql.............FAILED test 23
 Failed 1/68 tests, 98.53% okay
t/mysql2............ok
Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed

1 test skipped.
Failed 2/17 test scripts, 88.24% okay. 2/732 subtests failed, 99.73%
okay.
make[1]: *** [test_dynamic] Error 29

make: *** [test] Error 2
  /usr/local/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Bundle summary: The following items seem to have had installation
problems:
  Unwrapped into directory
/home/fsa/staff/rmillis/.cpan/build/Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2214
Mysql DBD::mysql

[cut]

Ok so, are the failed tests serious (greek to me) and how do I force
this from the CPAN shell prompt if continuing is ok??

Thanks!!!!

P.S. Have I mentioned I like Linux and RPMs even more now than I
realized. Getting all this stuff going was easy on the RedHat 6.1 i386
platform. I see how people can get sucked into using Windows too...
