[rt-users] File::Spec ??

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hello users,

After living with this problem for months, I've now decided to ask the gurus
for a solution.

There are times I've had to reinstall File::Spec because apache complains
about the version. The problem is that once in a while this problem rears
its ugly face again:


wash at ns2 ('tty') ~ 44 -> sudo apachectl startssl
[Fri Sep 20 14:20:06 2002] [error] File::Spec version 0.8 required--this is only version 0.6 at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/File/Temp.pm line 124.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/rt2/bin/webmux.pl line 77.

Syntax error on line 10 of /usr/local/etc/apache/virtuals.conf:
File::Spec version 0.8 required--this is only version 0.6 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/File/Temp.pm line 124.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/File/Temp.pm line 124.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/rt2/bin/webmux.pl line 77.

/usr/local/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started


When this happens, I've simply done either of 2 things:

1. perl -MCPAN -e 'install File::Spec', or
2. tar zxvf File-Spec-0.8.2.tar.gz && perl Makefile.PL && make install


then apache will start, but that is not the end. This problem always comes back.

I need to putit to rest. HOW???





        cheers
