[rt-users] Perl Module Problems

[Chris Berry]

Ok, trying to get all the dependancies resolved using Mandrake packages 
turned out to be too complicated, so I'm doing it the CPAN way 
recommended in the docs.  I'm having some trouble getting them all to 
install.  I finally figured out how to fix quite a bit of it by doing 
the following manually:

urpmi perl-devl
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Test::Pod'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Test::Pod::Coverage'

but I'm still stuck on the following items:

Apache::Session 1.53...MISSING
   t/99dbfile.........dubious
         Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
   t/99dbfilestore....dubious
         Test returned status 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
   t/99flex...........skipped
         all skipped: no reason given
   t/99postgres.......skipped
         all skipped: no reason given

XML::RSS ...MISSING
   Seems to be complaining about expat.h being missing

HTTP::Server::Simple 0.07...MISSING
   t/04cgi............dubious
         Test returned status 6 (wstat 1536, 0x600)
   DIED. FAILED tests 5, 7, 10-11, 18, 20

HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason 0.03...MISSING
   Can't install without HTTP::Server::Simple

DBD::Pg 1.41...MISSING
   Can't seem to find pg_config

Apache::Test ...MISSING
   [warning] result:
   [  error] You are running the test suite under user 'root'.
   Apache cannot spawn child processes as 'root', therefore
   we attempt to run the test suite with user 'nobody' (65534:65534).
   The problem is that the path (including all parent directories):
   /root/.cpan/build/Apache-Test-1.25/t
   must be 'rwx' by user 'nobody', so Apache can read and write under
   that path.

   looks like it's got the right permissions to me:
   drwxr-xr-x   6 nobody nogroup  4096 Jul 11 12:47 t/

Test::WWW::Mechanize ...MISSING
   Can't install without HTTP::Server:Simple

A few helpful hints would be nice if someone else has run into these 
problems before.
