[rt-users] Installation Trouble

[Charles Whittington]

I am new to RT as sysadmin (though have used it elsewhere).

At make initialize-database, I get

ntech1:/tmp/rt-3.4.5 # make initialize-database
/usr/local/bin/perl //opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba 
root --prompt-for-dba-password
"my" variable $id masks earlier declaration in same scope at 
/opt/rt3/lib/RT/CustomField_Overlay.pm line 879.

In order to create or update your RT database,this script needs to 
connect to your mysql instance on localhost as root.
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no 
database
password, just press return.

Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Proxy, SQLite, Sponge.

Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong here? Which DBD/mysql.pm is 
required and where to set INC so it can be found?

TIA
