[rt-users] RT3.0 alpha1 compile problem

[dr john halewood]

this seems a bit strange,
   trying to build the rt 3.0 alpha release on a machine that runs rt2 quite happily
$./configure --with-www-user=nobody --with-www-group=nobody
$ make testdeps
/usr/bin/perl ./sbin/testdeps --with-mysql
I18N-COMPAT dependencies:
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at ./sbin/testdeps line 167.
make: *** [testdeps] Error 255

I can't see anything in ./sbin/testdeps to cause the problem. It looks like
$deps{'I18N_COMPAT'} = [ _( << '.') ];
Text::Iconv
Encode::compat 0.04
.
<snip>
foreach my $type (keys %args)  {
next unless ($type =~ /^with-(.*?)$/);
my $type = $1;
print "$type dependencies:\n";
        my @deps = (@{$deps{$type}});

...which is where it falls over Any ideas?
perl is 5.6.1, make 3.79 (although I  doubt this has anything to do with it as I get 
the same result issuing the command line equivalent perl script). System is 
x86 linux, running a much upgraded/customised redhat 6.2 install.

cheers
