[rt-users] Trouble upgrading to 3.8.1

[Kenneth Crocker]

Joop,


	OH MAN! I just decided to enter yes for all that stuff every time it 
comes up with one and it ran like 10 different times with me having to 
say yes or y. It finally stopped with this result:

Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3, <DATA> line 16.

	So now I'm really not sure what to do. Now I really am open to ideas.
