[rt-users] suid perl on macosx

[Nicolas Bertrand]

Dear all,

I am attemting to install request tracker on mac running macosx v.10.1.5

I fulfilled all the dependencies (except suid perl ?): make testdeps 
finds everything  and I have installed ApacheDBI.
Running make install generates this error message:

(...)

make: *** [insert] Error 255

I amstuck. I believe it may be because suidperl is not installed 
(correct me if I am wrong :-)
% ./rtadmin
YOU HAVEN'T DISABLED SET-ID SCRIPTS IN THE KERNEL YET!
FIX YOUR KERNEL, PUT A C WRAPPER AROUND THIS SCRIPT, OR USE -u AND 
UNDUMP!

I am not sure how to proceed next... Does anybody know of any 
pointers/documentation to help me setting up suidperl in MacOSX?

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Nicolas
