[rt-users] RT::Init() Segmentation Fault

[Allan Reko]

Hi all, 

I have a system running Solaris 9 (sparc).  I followed the instructions
on the Sun website that are linked to from the Wiki, and after quite a
bit of meddling with the installation of the perl modules, I finally got
all the Perl Dependencies installed.  I got RT Compiled and installed.

I can start the Mysql Service, I can start the apache service.  

When I point my browser to the web address, I get an internal server
error, error 500.  I checked the apache error_log, and get the below set
of error messages every time I try to access the web page:

[Thu Oct 12 13:37:24 2006] [warn] FastCGI: server

When I try to run mason_handler.fcgi directly, I get:
# su www
# cd /usr/local/rt3/bin    
# ./mason_handler.fcgi
Segmentation Fault
#

I opened the mason_handler.fcgi, and tried inserting print statements,
to isolate where the failure was occurring.  I isolated it to the line
in mason_handler that says: "RT::Init();".  When I commented that line
out, I got the login screen on the web page, so I know the issue is
coming from RT::Init(). 

The problem is that I'm not sure where to look to debug perl/cgi
stuff...Has anyone encountered this before?  

I am using:
RT v 3.6.1
Perl v 5.8.7
Apache v 1.3.37

I believe my apache setup is correct, as the server is correctly sending
off to the mason_handler, and I can log into the database using the
username and password I set up in the config file (currently the
defaults, will change later).  

Anyone have any ideas?  I'm not entirely sure where to look from here...
