[rt-users] (newbie) Apache::Request / Apache::Test install problem

[Ethan Kiczek]

I'm attempting to install RT 3.0.7 on a RedHat 9 machine. I built Apache 
1.3.29 statically with mod_perl 1.29 following the instructions in 
Appendix 4 of the documentation. I'm able to use CPAN to install all 
required modules except Apache::Request. Upon further examination, this 
seems to be because installation of dependency Apache::Test fails. Here 
is a snippet of the CPAN install log for Apache::Test:

...
Removing previously used /root/.cpan/build/Apache-Test-1.06

APXS (/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs) query for SYSCONFDIR failed
APXS (/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs) query for PREFIX failed
...

and then later:

...

So I tried %apxs -q SBINDIR and it gave me:

apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available
apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
apxs:Error: binary `/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd'.

What do I do now? Do I need to recompile Apache with mod_perl AND 
mod_so? If so, how?
