[rt-users] RT Install Problems on RedHat 7.2

[Jim Meyer]

Howdy!

I would try downloading the source tarball of DBIx::DataSource from CPAN
and reinstalling it. It feels like your install of that package is
wonky. `make testdeps` will tell you if the package is installed;
reinstalling via the usual `perl Makefile.PL && make && make test &&
make install` will actually test your installation and be sure it's
functioning properly.

Cheers!
