[rt-users] Trying to install RT-2.0.13 w/ FastCGI...

[Matt Disney]

I was also experiencing this problem and it doesn't stop at testdeps. It
essentially fubars mason_handler.fcgi as well. Here's a snippet of my
apache errors_log:

It appears that there are still Mason dependencies on modperl. 

Based on information in the mason-devel list archives for this week, I
think that true fastcgi support is not in the current release.

So, the answer is to install only perl side of mod_perl: 
o	Download and unpack mod_perl from http://perl.apache.org
o	perl Makefile.PL NO_HTTPD=1
o	make
o	make test 
o	make install

That worked for me. Let me know if you see anything I've missed.
